AVA Cath-In-Cath 2 Port System™ (Titanium)
The AVA Cath-In-Cath 2 Port System™ is a unique access port and access system developed exclusively for preclinical researchers. Our port system utilizes features researchers have wanted for years but have been unavailable in a single device.
Those features are low volume, a low profile, superior needle and infusion set retention, and the ability to restore bidirectional patency, across multiple species, vessels and applications. What sets these ports apart is that a kink-resistant Cath-In-Cath™ infusion catheter passes through the port and into the vessel catheter. The Cath-In-Cath catheters, with the tapered catheters designed for them, give a more secure infusion set to port connection than a needle in a septum. The flexible cannula does far less damage to the port site and does not require extensive wrapping like a conventional needle and port connection and means less needle stick exposure. The Cath-In-Cath 2 Ports™ can also utilize standard non-coring needles when desired. With the Cath-In-Cath 2 you have the ability to utilize several gauge sizes and materials with the internal catheters, not just one. The linear design allows for advancing; flow probes, temperature probes, guide wires and other catheter materials into the guide catheter.
