Sterile MAVIC 400 Catheter Unique Design Mimicking Natural Mating Process

MAVIC Catheter by MOFA

With its design mimicking the natural mating process, the MAVIC catheter stimulates uterine contractions thereby improving the flow of sperm cells to the oviducts.
The balloon and unique injection port system prevent semen reflux making it ideal for use with fresh and chilled semen. It is rigid enough for easy insertion yet flexible enough for comfort.

Canine Mating Facts

During a natural mating, a tie occures with the male penis being locked in the vagina of the female. This tie lasts approximately 10 to 20 minutes and the entire vagina is occupied by the penis, which naturally prevents semen reflux. At the same time the dog’s movements and the dilation of the bulbus glandis of the male stimulate the vagina, inducing contractions which release oxytosin. Concurrently, these events facilitate semen transfer from the cranial vagina where it is deposited to the uterus and oviducts of the female.

The development of MOFA Global’s vaginal insemination catheter (Mavic) was in response to a need to improve the results of vaginal insemination in the dog. The semen deposition using a single linear pipette inadequately transfered the semen to the uterus and created the need to use the classical leg-up method to reduce semen reflux. The MAVIC vaginal insemination catheter was developed by MOFA Global to technically respond to these problems, making breeders’ and veterinarians’ lives easier and the vaginal insemination procedure more effective by mirroring nature.
