Catheter Access Tools
Vascular Access Ports (VAPs)
Large Animal Catheters and VAPs
Large animal catheters and vascular access ports (VAPs) are critical tools for achieving reliable and precise infusion techniques in research involving larger species. Designed for durability, biocompatibility, and ease of use, these devices enable secure and consistent delivery of fluids and medications while prioritizing animal welfare. Their advanced design ensures reproducible results and streamlined procedures, making them an essential component of successful preclinical studies.
