The  Octopolar Electrophysiology Catheter

Now you can complete your transgenic and other studies with Ventricular ECG information.  With eight electrodes and electrode spacing as small as 0.5mm, electrical phenotypes can be characterized along with more traditional parameters such as pressure and volume.

Our smallest re-usable, minimally invasive, catheter measures only 1.1 French in diameter, allowing it to be used in subjects as early as five days old.  Entry points include the Carotid artery, the Esophagus and the Jugular vein. We also offer a 2 French size and other sizes on request. Some typical parameters determined with Scisense electrophysiology catheters include conduction times,   HIS potentials, nodal properties and refractory periods.

Key specifications are as follows:

This electrophysiology catheter can be used for both pacing and recording, and will operate with most commercially available stimulators and amplifiers.

We also carry a full line of third party alternatives for this type of equipment and can supply the necessary hardware and software to store and analyze these signals
