Pressure Catheters

Millar Mikro-Tip high-fidelity pressure catheters provide an ideal solution for measuring highly accurate pressures, including arterial and ventricular blood pressures, spinal pressures, tumor pressures, or airway pressures. Our complete line of Mikro-Tip pressure catheters ranges in size from 6 F for larger animals to the world’s smallest 1 F catheter for mouse cardiac evaluation.

Electrophysiology Catheters

Millar electrophysiology (EP) catheters support standard EP studies by applying pacing and recording protocols either intracardially or transesophageally to assess atrial and ventricular electrical properties. This is a proven method for characterizing the electrical phenotype of transgenic mice, as well as determining and diagnosing detrimental heart conditions.
