Superfine MCAO suture 50L12R5

Key Features:

1. Filament Specifications: The 5-0 filament size has a diameter 0.14 +/- 0.01 mm, and a total length of 30 mm, it provides superb flexibility and reduced impact on Willis Circle while maintains excellent pushability for easy handling, suitable for MCAO stroke models in rats with vulnerable vasculature.

2. Silicone Rubber Coating: With a diameter of 0.27 +/- 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 young rats within the body weight range of 100 +/- 10 grams. The coating extends 1-2 mm, catering to the extended needs of skilled surgeons engaged in longer (>60 min) MCAO period followed by reperfusion.

3. Suitable for Skilled Surgeons: Tailored for experienced practitioners, our filament is specifically designed to meet the demands of skilled surgeons undertaking state of art MCAO surgeries. The desired coating length provides the control for intricate procedures, ensuring procise MCA occlusion but keep open the posterior communicating arteries which are vital for the hypothalamus. For these reasons, it is able to reduce the chance of sustained post-surgery high fever which causes high mortality in MCAO stroke models.

4. Reusable Design: Our silicone rubber-coated monofilament is crafted with durability and consistency in mind. The filaments are reusable, making them ideal for paired-control studies in pharmaceutical reaserch, and also a cost-effective choice for researchers who value both quality and efficiency.
