This two channel implantable Vascular Access Button™ for rats provides two independent fluid lines yet is the same size as the one channel. Two 3Fr catheters connect to 22ga inputs beneath the felt disk. Color‑coded PinPorts™ (red/white) allow manual access with a PNP3M injector. The tether attaches magnetically aligning the ports with the correct tubing.
For continuous dual access, use a 25ga dual‑channel swivel; or pair one continuous line with a free‑rotating PinPort™ for dosing/sampling.
Applications
- Infusion
- Manual or automated blood sampling
- Glucose clamps, and bile sampling
The button also works with one‑channel tethers, enabling PK studies using one port for dosing and the other for serial sampling.
Features
- Quick externalization of two catheters
- Closed system patency
- Group housing with cap
- Bile‑loop option
