Cardiovascular blood pressure
The Samba Preclin catheter is ideal for real-time cardiovascular blood pressure monitoring, particularly in small animal models such as small rodents.Accurate invasive hemodynamic measurements are however technically challenging when small size cardiovascular systems and rapid heart rates are to be investigated.
When inserted through the carotid or femoral artery, intravascular blood pressure (IBP) and left ventricular pressure (LVP), right ventricular pressure (RVP) and right atrial pressure (RAP) monitored by a Samba Sensors' system enables accurate, high-resolution data. When measuring pressure in tiny vessels and avoiding resistance to blood flow, the thin, tip-mounted, transducer offers unmatched performance. This is due to our extraordinary dynamic response and high resolution.
Real-time IBP monitoring can also be made in the MRI lab since the system is insensitive to any magnetic fields, radio waves or electrical noise.
