Millar’s pre-clinical pressure catheters.

A Legacy of Innovation in Life Science Research

With a combined 85+ years of experience, Millar and ADInstruments have been advancing medical research around the world. Our partnership combines Millar’s industry-leading catheter technology and ADInstruments’ powerful data acquisition and analysis systems.

High-Fidelity Pressure Measurements for Pre-Clinical Research

From ventricular and arterial pressure to intracranial, airway and tumor pressure, Millar catheters deliver high-fidelity measurements that help drive breakthroughs. Backed by decades of solid-state sensor innovation, our pressure catheters help researchers measure with accuracy, reliability and confidence.

Single Pressure Catheters

Millar Mikro-Tip® single pressure catheters are designed for mice, rats, and larger animal models such as pigs and sheep. Features include: single high-fidelity pressure sensor side-mounted at the catheter tip, sizes ranging from 1 F (0.33 mm) to 6 F (2 mm) in diameter, and straight and curved tips without pigtail.

Multiple Pressure Catheters

Millar Mikro-Tip multiple pressure catheters are the ideal solution for measuring accurate pressures in larger animal models, such as pigs and sheep.

Pressure-Volume Loop FAQ

What types of pressure can Millar pre-clinical pressure catheters measure?

Millar catheters can measure a wide range of physiological pressures, including ventricular, arterial, intracranial, airway, tumor or spinal pressures, across both small and large animal models.

What is the difference between single- and multi-sensor catheters?

Single-sensor catheters provide localized pressure data from one region. Multi-sensor catheters enable simultaneous measurements at multiple sites, helping researchers assess pressure gradients or capture dynamic changes along the catheter path.

Are Millar catheters reusable?

Most Millar catheters are reusable and designed for multiple experiments, provided they are properly cleaned and maintained between uses. Refer to the product-specific guide for care and handling instructions.

How do Millar catheters integrate with data acquisition systems?

Millar catheters can be easily connected to most data acquisition platforms using a Millar Pressure Control Unit and appropriate interface cables. They are also compatible with analysis software like ADInstruments’ LabChart.
