Doccol MCAO SIlicone Sutures / Microfilaments

Doccol Corp. provide a wide range of nylon monofilament MCAO sutures, from sizes USP 3-0 to 8-0. Precision-crafted microsurgical tool for inducing Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) stroke model in rats. MCAO sutures stand out for their ability to decrease variability in stroke models, with a standard deviation as narrow as 5% of the mean infarction volume. The coating extends 5-6 mm, catering to the needs of permanent MCAO or transient MCAO (less than 90 min) followed by reperfusion. Suitable for MCAO models that requires higher consistence of infarct volume.
