Murine Ommaya Port

This VAB™ variant was developed in 2019 for the Dr. Peter Forsyth Lab at the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute. 

It is designed to be mounted on the mouse skull with a 3.3mm 25ga MRI-compatible nitinol tube that accesses the cisterna magna. 

To access the port, use a syringe with a PNP3M injector.
