Key Features:

1. Filament Specifications: The 4-0 filament size has a diameter 0.19 +/- 0.01 mm, and a total length of 30 mm, it provides excellent flexibility for reducing impact on Willis Circle as well as enhanced pushability for easy handling, suitable for MCAO stroke models in rats with vulnerable vasculature.

2. Silicone Rubber Coating: With a diameter of 0.45 +/- 0.02 mm, the silicone rubber coating ensures smooth and controlled insertion, enhancing precision in your experiments. Such coating provides ideal dimensions for MCAO procedures in rats within the body weight range of 450 +/- 50 grams. The coating extends 4-5 mm, catering to the needs of MCAO followed by reperfusion.

3. Suitable for MCAO models that requires higher consistence of infarct volume: The 4-5 mm coating length is optimized for providing consistent and reliable infarct volume with enhanced performance for maneuverability.
