Product overview

Introducing our Large B2.5 MCAO suture (Silicone Rubber-Coated Monofilament) - a precision-crafted microsurgical tool for inducing Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) stroke model in young rats. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this 50L56C subtype is instrumental for skilled surgeons working on rat stroke models, delivering consistent and reliable results for your experiments. Each pack contains 10 monofilaments.

Applications

  • Ischemic stroke models

Features

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 0.38 +/- 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 300 +/-20 grams. The coating extends 5-6 mm, catering to the needs of permanent MCAO or transient MCAO (less than 90 min) followed by reperfusion.

3. Suitable for MCAO models that requires higher consistence of infarct volume: The 5-6 mm coating length is optimized for providing consistent and reliable infarct volume with balanced performance for maneuverability.
