URODYNAMICS
Cystometry Single Lumen Ctheters
Extension lines of sufficient length to reach from the patient to the urodynamics machine are integrated into the catheter during manufacture. This eliminates the need to buy separate extension lines. More importantly, it reduces the number of connections in the fluid system (each unnecessary connection is a possible site for micro air bubbles to form and affect the accuracy of pressure measurement).
Each filling catheter in the range has a diamond-shaped eye which improves release of the bladder pressure catheter during the ‘piggy-back’ technique of catheter introduction into the bladder.
All Urodynamic catheters are fitted with winged luer connectors to aid connection to and release from the pump tubin or other accessories.
For greater user convenience we also offer Cystometry Sets comprising bladder pressure and filling catheters or bladder filling, pressure and rectal catheters in one pack.
Cystometry Double Lumen Catheters
Mediplus double lumen Urodynamic Catheters enable ease of patient catheterisation and simultaneous bladder filling and pressure measurement.
These catheters feature asymmetric lumens where the filling lumen is larger than the pressure measuring lumen. The design is such that only 30% of the lumen cross-sectional area is devoted to cystometry measurement, with the remaining 70% dedicated to filling. This facilitates an adequate bladder filling rate from a smaller French size catheter (maximum fill rate of over 100 ml/minute on Ch.8 and Ch.10 sizes), with a catheter diameter smaller than would otherwise be needed. This aids pressure measurement during the voiding phase of the procedure, and provides greater convenience and patient comfort.

Abdominal (Rectal) Pressure Catheters
Cost effective, single-lumen Urodynamic Catheters for rectal pressures are designed for consistent accuracy of peritoneal pressure measurement and maximum patient comfort. The range includes a choice of 4.5 charriere catheters with PVC flap valve, PVC, latex or silicone balloon.
By using a flap valve or a vented balloon at the proximal tip of the catheter, air can be easily expelled from the catheter lumen during the filling phase of the procedure. The single lumen rectal catheters are smaller than double lumen rectal catheters and, therefore, more comfortable for the patient – and much less expensive
