iWorx offers the Opsens Fiber Optic pressure catheters in sizes starting at 1.0F. 

Advantages:

  • Small 1.0F cathers suitable for Mice and larger animals
  • Since they are fiberoptic, they are suited for MRI applications.
  • High frequency response, making it the most sensitive and precise method for the monitoring of arterial pressure and for analysis of changes in the phasic arterial pressure waveform.
  • Superior sensitivity and temporal resolution compared to fluid-filled catheters make them more suitable for measuring intra-cardiac pressures from animal species with high intrinsic heart rates.
  • Unlike the fluid filled catheters, solid state catheters do not require flushing and do not have the problem of decreasing signal intensity with increasing catheter length.
  • Available in 1-4 channel configurations.
