PhysioTel HD Catheter and Lead Configuration Options
Many configurations are available to enable flexibility between studies. Configurations that are more common are highlighted for convenience.
All listed surgical approaches are endorsed by DSI’s surgical support staff and therefore training is available for these methods on-site or at DSI headquarters. The surgical placement may vary depending on the animal model and experimentation with a non-functional training device is recommended before attempting a survival surgery. Surgical manuals are available for all procedures and videos are available for select procedures.
Papers or posters verifying these surgical methods are available via DSI’s bibliography system found on the website. In unique applications, DSI may also be able to connect researchers together for further surgical or scientific development.
HD-S10
DSI does not recommend the use of the HD-S10 for dP/dt analysis. Furthermore, DSI does not recommend use of the HD-S10 for right ventricular pressure or left ventricular pressure measurement.

HD-S11
Only the 8cm catheter with a 6mm tip and ligation aide is recommended for dP/dt analysis in rodents.
*Catheter Outer Diameter: 0.76 mm
HD-S20
For any pulse wave velocity analysis, the catheter lengths must be equal.
Only the 8cm catheter with a 6mm tip and ligation aide is recommended for dP/dt analysis in rodents.

HD-S02
Biopotential only implant optimized for Neuroscience Applications
PA-C10
Not an HD device but still available to use in research. Requires manual configuration. Not suitable for carotid artery surgery with IP placement of the device body.
*Catheter Outer Diameter: 0.42 mm (mouse); 0.76 mm (rat)
HD-X10
The 5cm catheter is the same as the one on the PhysioTel PA-C10 model. The 7cm catheter was developed for this product to enable carotid artery surgery while obtaining core temperature via IP placement of the device body.
