MCAO sutures for rodent stroke models.



Doccol MCAO sutures for stroke models have been well recognized and preferably selected by stroke investigators for inducing ischemic stroke models, our products are referred by thousands of scholarly articles. Our clients are top-ranked universities, highly prestigious research institutes, and world-leading pharmaceutical companies from all over the world. Using Doccol monofilaments for inducing MCAO models has been widely accepted as a necessary technical step and also a new standard for ensuring the highest quality of stroke modeling. MCAO sutures are available in tip-diameter range from 0.15 mm to 0.58 mm with coating lengths from 1.5 mm to 10 mm.

Micro catheters for rats and mice.



Doccol microcatheters are permanently connected to an industrial standard Luer lock or stopcock, therefore, eliminated the transitional tubing and needle connection.

Features of Doccol microcatheters:

• Direct use with standard syringes with Luer fitting.
• Dramatically reduced inner volume.
• Tubing O.D. from 0.081 mm to 0.838 mm. 
• Abundant choices of tubing material.
• Suitable for access of deep microvascularure.
• Durable and can be repeatedly used.
• Custom tubing length available.
  

MCAO micro surgical tools.



Doccol provides the mostly needed essential microsurgical tools to help with your routine stroke modeling work; we are specilized in different types of micro suturing forceps, micro dissecting forceps, and micro spring scissors. These surgical tools were carefully-selected with the goal in mind to bring you maximal performance and productivity.

Laser Speckle Perfusion Imaging Systems.



The laser speckle contrast Imaging (LSCI) is superior to laser doppler flowmetry (LDF) by offering a full-field high-resolution fast imaging method for direct visualizing perfusion status in realtime. LSCI is about 100 times higher in spatial resolution, and almost 10 thousand times faster than scanning LDF(SLDF) or laser doppler imaging (LDI). Obviously the emerging LSCI will be a much better method than LDF for confirming a successful stroke model and may become the upgraded golden standard from LDF in stroke modeling.

PID temperature controllers.



Utilizing advanced PID technologies and Arduino platform, Doccol PID temperature controllers offer precision control of animal body temperature througha a T-type thermocouple feedback sensor, which is suitable for both mice and rats. The controller is equiped with a built-in data logger using microSD card, and also a personal computer (PC) connection port for real-time monitoring and data-logging to PC. Controllers are offered in different models for using AC-powered or DC-powered heating pads.
