Your Patient’s Beating Pulse – Monitored with Confidence
When it comes to measuring blood pressure, having the right equipment makes all the difference!
The CAT+ Doppler Blood Pressure Kit brings together our highly sensitive CAT+ Doppler with everything you need for straightforward, reliable systolic blood pressure monitoring.
Whether you’re screening for hypertension, monitoring a conscious patient or assessing pulse quality during anaesthesia, the CAT+ gives you the confidence of hearing your patient’s actual arterial blood flow.
Not Just for Cats!
Don’t let the name fool you! While the CAT+ Doppler is a firm favourite for feline blood pressure monitoring, it’s also a fantastic choice for dogs and a wide range of other veterinary patients.
Its highly sensitive flat probe makes it particularly useful for smaller patients, where detecting a clear arterial signal can sometimes be a challenge.

Your CAT+ Doppler Blood Pressure Kit includes:
- CAT+ Doppler unit with high-sensitivity flat probe
- Welch Allyn DuraShock sphygmomanometer
- Blood pressure cuffs in sizes 1–5

No hunting around for additional accessories – just unpack, set up and you’re ready to go!
Small Probe, Big Performance!
At the heart of every CAT+ Doppler is our highly sensitive, specially designed flat probe.
Its low-profile design makes positioning easier, particularly on smaller patients, while delivering a clear, natural Doppler signal that helps you identify the return of arterial blood flow as cuff pressure is released.
Unlike automated monitors, the CAT+ lets you hear the actual blood flow, giving you direct audible feedback throughout the measurement.
How Does the CAT+ Doppler Measure Blood Pressure?
Taking a reading is straightforward with a little practice:
- Prepare your patient – Select an appropriate measurement site, prepare the fur and apply ultrasound gel.
- Position the cuff and probe – Choose the correct cuff size and locate the artery using the Doppler probe.
- Inflate and release – Inflate the cuff until the Doppler signal disappears, then slowly release the pressure.
- Listen for the pulse – The pressure at which the arterial signal returns indicates the systolic blood pressure.
With good technique and a cooperative patient, readings can often be obtained in less than a minute.
The CAT+ can also be used to monitor pulse quality during anaesthesia, making it a versatile addition to your veterinary equipment.
Built to Last, Backed by Thames Medical!
When you invest in a CAT+ Doppler, you’re investing in equipment designed to go the distance!
In fact, we regularly see CAT+ Dopplers that have been in use for over 20 years and are still going strong.

Because great equipment shouldn’t have to be disposable!
Putting Feline Blood Pressure Monitoring to the Test!
Our CAT+ Doppler featured alongside the AutoCAT+ in a peer-reviewed clinical study investigating blood pressure measurements in cats.
The research included 131 paired readings from 26 cats, providing valuable insight into feline blood pressure monitoring using both technologies.
