Rat IV Bolus
Use a Vascular Access Button™ instead of an externalized catheter for manual IV boluses for several reasons:
- Extended patency because the catheter is under the skin, minimizing evaporation
- Reduced risk of infection because it is a closed system
- Repeated access does not damage the catheter tubing
- Animals can be group housed in between doses
You can order animals with the VAB™ and catheter implanted by the animal vendor. Group house the rats using the protective cap (VABRC). Dose then flush the catheter using a syringe fitted with PNP3M injectors.
