Workshop on Vascular Catheterization in the Laboratory Mouse

Workshop on Vascular Catheterization in the Laboratory Mouse is organized by The Jackson Laboratory and will be held from Oct 08 - 10, 2025 at The Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Maine, United States of America.

Description:
Receive hands-on training from experts in the field to develop the advanced surgical skills required to perform vascular catheterization in laboratory mice. You will receive step-by-step instruction in each surgical procedure as well as information on:

• How to maximize catheter patency
• Catheter insertion length and tip placement
• The vascular access button positive pressure technique

Surgical Techniques Covered Include:

• Jugular Vein Catheterization with Vascular Access Button
• Carotid Artery Catheterization with Vascular Access Button
• Dual Catheterization (Jugular Vein and Carotid Artery) with Two-Channel Vascular Access Button
• Suturing

In addition to catheterization techniques, foundational information necessary for successful surgical outcomes will also be covered, including:

• Surgical space preparation
• Anesthesia and analgesia
• Atraumatic and aseptic technique
• Heat loss prevention
• Wound closure materials and applications
• Postoperative recovery considerations
