Rodent Surgical Tables (RS-1)

This innovative operating table has been specifically designed for small animal surgery. The Access operating table is manufactured from a thick high performance acrylic resin and natural minerials. The working surface is 8" x 11", non-porous and has grooves radiating from a central well for drainage or placement of the flushing line during surgery. A large central well facilitates ventral surface surgery after implantation of the vascular access port in the dorsal surace.

A right angled Huber point flushing line enables flushing of the catheter and monitoring of the catheter patency during surgery. The four adjustable surgical rubber restraining straps and numerous hold-down slots along the perimeter of the table, allow for the accomodating of various sizes of animals.

A Must if You are Doing Rat Surgery!

BICCS Systems

The BICCSf/T-Tube Occluder System is ideal for the collection of bile, lymph and urinary fluid. This system allows for easy occlusion and total collection of fluid. It is equally simple to restore proper flow through the catheter arms when collection is not desired. The system is:

low pressure
has no exteriorized components
provides quantitative fluid collection
accomodates long-term use of animals
provides selective infusion
enables convenient fluid sampling
allows unrestricted animal movement

The BICCSf System is available in various sizes: the 3 French size is for rodents and smaller animals (BICCS-3), 5 French size for primates and dogs (BICCS-5), and now available is a new 7 French size (BICCS-7). All sizes are available with or without vascular access ports. For more information, Contact Access Technologies.

Vascular Occluders

Access Technologies can supply you with Vascular Occludersf. The applications of occluders include:

reliable total or partial vascular occlusion

reliable determination of zero-flow baseline blood flow measurements

allow for constriction of soft organ/vessels such as bile duct, urethra or intestines

Occluders are constructed of soft biocompatible silicone rubber. They are individually packaged sterile with a compression sleeve. Being sized according to the lumen diameter, occluders are available with lumen diameters ranging from 2mm to 24mm. The catalog numbers are "OC-" followed by the lumen diameter. The occluder response is very rapid and can be maintained for several hours, as long as the occluder is pressurized. When the occluder is attached to a V-A-Pf, the system is totally subcutaneous. So if you want to reduce exit site infection, reduce catheter mutilation and obtain a totally closed subcutaneous system, then the occluder/port system is the way to go!
