Canine infusion and blood sampling systems
Validated in the dog model
Ambulatory and tethered infusion and sampling systems validated in the dog model, with jacket configurations optimized for our ports and infusion sets.
Ambulatory system
The pump rides on the animal in a jacket. No tether, no swivel, and the animal is free to move in its normal housing.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Access port | Cath-In-Cath 2, 6 Fr, ALAT-6 |
| Infusion pump | CURLIN 8000 CMS, AB-8000CMS, or 6000 CMS, AB-6000 |
| Infusion set | Cath-In-Cath infusion set, CIC-20G |
| Reservoir | Drug bag or cassette, sized to the protocol |
| Jacket | Canine jacket, sizing on the jackets page |
Tethered system
The pump sits outside the cage and the line runs through a swivel, for higher flow rates, larger reservoirs and studies that run longer than a jacket-mounted reservoir allows.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Access port | Cath-In-Cath 2, 6 Fr, ALAT-6 |
| Infusion pump | CURLIN 8000 CMS, AB-8000CMS, or 6000 CMS, AB-6000 |
| Infusion set | Cath-In-Cath infusion set, CIC-20G |
| Swivel and tether | Large animal tether, 18 ga swivel |
| Jacket | Canine jacket, sizing on the jackets page |
Smart pumps with remote monitoring are available. We assess your requirements individually and design the tethered system around them.
Specialty
BileCath T-tube occluder system for bile collection in dogs, with positive occlusion and total collection without over-pressuring the balloon. ABile-ALAT6.
Other access routes
Vascular access is the common case. These are built to protocol for canine work on the same port and catheter platform.
- CSF and intrathecal. Long-term CSF collection and CNS dosing, via the IntraPort with matched catheters and introducer
- Duodenal. Enteral dosing and absorption work, catheter and port built to the route
- Bile. Total bile collection with the BileCath T-tube occluder system
- SubQ and IP. Subcutaneous and intraperitoneal configurations on request
In the literature
Two 2021 canine telemetry papers on automated blood sampling used vascular access port and catheter hardware. See publications.
