A variety of different cannulation sites are available, including insertion of vascular, brain, and intestinal cannula.
Taconic's cannulation procedures are typically performed several days prior to shipment to provide ample recovery time for the animals prior to transport. Cannulas are obtained from several manufacturers including: Access Technologies, SAI Infusions, and Instech Solomon. For vascular catheters, patency is verified by the ability to withdraw a blood sample within 24 hours of shipment and is guaranteed upon receipt of animals. Venous catheters are recommended for infusion only, and arterial catheters should be used for blood sampling.
