TAPERCATH™ ROUNDED TIP CATHETERS
AVA Biomedical has a full line of specialty catheters designed specifically with the
preclinical researcher in mind. All of our catheters are manufactured with the
latest and highest grade materials.
The TaperCath™ polyurethane catheters represent a new concept in catheter design.
The catheter is designed to over-come problems associated with other
long term catheters. The benefits of this technology are
maximized fluid dynamics, kink resistance, and a very smooth surface.
The taper of the catheter allows for the use of
a universal portal connector pin, which will allow
the researcher more flexibility before and during
surgery.
The proximal end of the catheter has maximum wall thickness
to decrease the likelihood of kinking, while the distal end is an
atraumatic thin wall with a polished tip.
We have over 18 years of custom catheter development and have created
catheters for almost all applications and species. We can save you time and
frustration by letting you know what works and what doesn’t.
