Abstract

Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Veterinary Sciences Zoology
We describe a procedure to secure a jugular vein catheter system at the dorsal nape of the neck in the hamster. An 8-cm piece of silicone tubing is connected with a 2.6 cm L-shaped metal tubing which is embedded in prosthetic material. The prosthetic material is placed underneath the neck skin of the hamster and keeps the metal end of the catheter system in a sturdy, upright position.
