Hi, Has anyone used 2F Fogarty Arterial Catheter from Edwards lifescience recently? I had used this product for rat carotid artery injury for more than 15 years and never had problems until recently. The balloon catheters I ordered (totally 3) had such thick bulge connection between the balloon and catheter and it is impossible to insert the catheter into rat carotid arteries (even with 500g rats) without tearing the artery. I left a message to the salesperson and it has been over three months, no response at all. I was wondering if there is any other suppliers exist. We are in the middle of the project and devastated to find a new supplier.
Thank you,
YC
