One Channel Vascular Access Button for Mice
The One Channel Mouse VAB™ is a transcutaneous port that permits quick, aseptic access to a catheterized vessel — either with a syringe for intermittent access or a tether for continuous access. Applications include infusion, blood sampling, and IV self-administration. Available with 14mm polyester felt, 10mm felt, or 14mm silicone mesh disk options, and in 25ga and 22ga connector sizes.
One Channel Vascular Access Button™ for Mice
The mouse VAB™ is a transcutaneous port that permits quick, aseptic access to a catheterized vessel — either with a syringe for intermittent access or a tether for continuous access. Applications include infusion, blood sampling, and IV self-administration.
Disk Options
- 14mm polyester felt (VABM1B) — standard configuration; tissue grows into the felt over time, securing it in place
- 10mm polyester felt (VABM1VB) — smaller felt for smaller incisions or smaller mice
- 14mm silicone mesh (VABM1BSM) — preferred by The Jackson Laboratory for strains that do not tolerate felt
Catheter Connector Sizes
- 25ga (standard) — for 2Fr polyurethane, including mouse jugular vein and carotid artery catheters
- 22ga — for 3Fr polyurethane
Key Features
- Access the miniature PinPort™ built into the button directly using a syringe fitted with a mating PNP3M injector or extension set
- Use the VABMG tool to hold the button and mouse magnetically without hemostats
- Connect a tether (VABM1T) with a 25ga swivel for continuous access — the tether connects magnetically to minimize force on the animal
- Use one of five colored aluminum VABM1C-5 caps to protect the button when group housing mice
Benefits
- Catheters are not exposed, preventing evaporation and improving patency
- Closed system allows aseptic technique and positive pressure technique, which can improve patency 5× over standard externalized catheters
- Group housing enabled using the protective cap
- Order animals from Charles River, Inotiv, or The Jackson Laboratory with buttons installed as a surgical service, or learn to perform the surgery yourself via Instech online or in-person training
