title: A device for the cutaneous exteriorization of chronic intravascular catheters.
abstract: A device has been designed which permits the cutaneous exteriorization of chronically implanted intravascular catheters. From one to three catheters may be exteriorized for withdrawing blood samples or for connecting to a pressure transducer. The device is uniquely suited for studying animals in a conscious and unrestrained state such as during exercise.
