WHN-01 WORKING HEART PERFUSION SYSTEM
The Working Heart/Langendorff Perfusion Apparatus consists of the following equipment. One buffer column for perfusion according to Langendorff retrograde perfusion (for initial heart preparation), one buffer column for perfusion according to Neely (working-heart), elastic chamber (adjustable for control of cardiac output), atrial reservoir (adjustable for control of left atrial filling), three Teflon taps (to adjust buffer flow and direction), mechanical liquid-flowmeter (for measurement of aortic flow in working heart mode), spindle syringe with catheter, metallic tube and latex baloons (for measurement of LVP in Langendorff mode), heart suspending unit (special design for both Langendorff and working heart option), three sizes of canula for suspension of heart (mice, rat, rabbit), thermosensor and thermometer to measure buffer temperature in the heart suspending unit, Unipolar electrode on an AM-01 type manipulator (for measurement of the surface potential), mechanical stand, clamps, holders and fittings for complete system.
