Mouse PV Loop Catheters
Millar’s Mikro-Tip® ultraminiature PV loop catheters have revolutionized the possibilities for cardiovascular research in small animals. These ultraminiature catheters are capable of measuring both left ventricular pressure and volume simultaneously from the intact, beating hearts of mice and rats. Only Millar offers the world's smallest 1F (1/3mm) pressure-volume catheter.
Our pressure-volume catheters for small animal research are reusable - non-sterile and may be used in either closed-chest or open-chest surgical procedures, and in isolated working heart studies. Our PVR-1045 is the smallest PV catheter tip size of 1F (1/3mm), which gives researchers a powerful tool in the characterization of cardiovascular function by allowing access to smaller animals.
By offering a wide range of pressure-volume catheter models, we ensure that you always have the right tool for your application.

Mouse Pressure-Volume Loop Catheters
PVR-1030
The PVR-1030 mouse pressure-volume catheter provides optimal data for simultaneously measuring left ventricular pressure and volume at the source. The high frequency response enhances your ability to collect the highest quality data possible, streamlining your path to publication.
Only Millar can offer the world’s smallest 1F pressure-volume catheter. The small catheter diameter minimizes the obstruction of blood flow in the vessel and allows for improved surgical access to the right ventricle. This enables access to smaller, younger mice for earlier detection of disease or treatment.
Cardiovascular researchers have successfully used the 1F pressure-volume catheter for improved catheterization in aortic banding models, where minimizing catheter size is key to successful data collection.
The PVR-1030 provides a 3.25 cm usable catheter length and a 3.0 mm electrode spacing for optimized ventricular volume measurement in smaller mice and right ventricle measurements. For standard-sized animals, consider the PVR-1045 pressure-volume catheter.
For complete hemodynamic analysis use the PVR-1030 mouse pressure-volume catheter with the MPVS Duo™ and a modular PowerLab data acquisition system with LabChart analysis software.

SPR-839
The SPR-839 mouse pressure-volume catheter is the market leading solution for simultaneously measuring left ventricular pressure and volume in mice. Built to the highest quality standards, the catheter combines a proven Mikro-Tip® pressure sensor with four electrodes to collect real-time pressure-volume data.
The SPR-839 is Millar's most popular catheter for performing pressure-volume studies in mice. With a pressure sensor diameter of 1.4F and 0.8F along the catheter body, this model offers the ideal combination of durability and ease of use for hemodynamic studies utilizing mice 25 g and larger.
The SPR-839 provides a 3.5 cm usable catheter length and a 4.5 mm electrode spacing for optimized ventricular volume measurement in standard-sized mice. For smaller animals and/or right ventricular studies, consider the PVR-1045, PVR-1035 and PVR-1030.
For complete hemodynamic analysis use the SPR-839 mouse pressure-volume catheter with the MPVS Duo™ and a modular PowerLab data acquisition system with LabChart analysis software.
