One Channel Vascular Access Button™ for Rats

For tethered and intermittent access 

This transcutaneous button features an external port with a septum for quick, clean and repeated access to a rat’s implanted catheter. Applications include bolus or continuous dosing, blood sampling and IV self-administration. For intermittent access use a syringe fitted with a needlefree PinPort™ injector; for continuous access from outside the cage snap in a mating tether.

The design, updated in 2017, uses magnets for stress-free connection, and smaller PinPorts so that tethers, injectors and caps are compatible with the two-channel buttons.

They are available with 22ga connectors to mate with 3Fr polyurethane rat catheters, or 27ga for intrathecal catheters.

Group house animals by using the protective aluminum cap — an animal welfare benefit that has never before been available to rats with externalized catheters.

NOTE: The original VAB95BS buttons, with the larger port and twist-in tether connection, remain available.

Features and Benefits

  • 1in (2.5cm) polyester surgical felt disk implanted under the skin
  • 22ga or 27ga catheter connectors
  • Catheters are not exposed, preventing evaporation and improving patency
  • Closed system allows aseptic technique and positive pressure technique which can significantly improve patency
  • Group house using the protective cap (available in red, blue or green for animal identification)
  • Needle-free access for safety
  • Order animals from Charles River or Envigo with the buttons installed as a surgical service
