In rodent surgical models, a successful procedure is only the first step. Maintaining reliable access to implanted catheters after surgery is essential for dosing, sampling, and long-term monitoring, and requires informed decisions around materials, exteriorization, housing, and ongoing care to support catheter function and animal welfare.
In this webinar, Andris Lelkes will discuss practical considerations and strategies for achieving catheter patency and reliable study outcomes in surgically modified rodent models.
Topics to be covered:
- Considerations for selecting catheterized rodent models and materials
- Key aspects of post-surgical catheter care and maintenance
- Common catheter patency challenges and troubleshooting approaches
- Housing and enrichment considerations for catheterized rodent models
