The Advantages

MICROFIL® compounds offer the following advantages over other previously available rubber injection compounds.

  • Complete filling with minimal shrinkage to enhance visual continuity and to produce in cleared preparations a vivid optically cleared specimen that allows a precise study of the microcirculation.
  • Color diversity to provide delineation within the circulatory tree for the better microscopic examination and illustration. MICROFIL® compounds are available in five radiopaque colors as well as clear.
