Medical-grade polyurethane tubing for biocompatibility and excellent fit on devices
Available with either rounded tips (for ease of insertion and to minimize trauma to the vessel wall), or square tips (for reduced cost on shorter-term studies)
Silicone collars for anchoring (choose location based on insertion length)
