Stericom’s range of multi-channel PVC catheters for UPP offers the urodynamics practitioner a choice of 2 or 3-lumen designs. They are compatible with all water-perfused urodynamics systems.
Our UPP catheter range offers 2 or 3-lumen designs to suit clinical need and preference. The UPP measuring eye is in each case located on the catheter shaft 70mm from the tip, proximal to which each tube is marked in cm graduations. Colour-tinted Ch4.5 pressure lines correspond closely with the catheter lumen, with a translucent tinted and winged female luer fitted to each line.
The Ch8, 700mm long main 2-lumen tube section is divided 70% for alternate filling/PURA and 30% dedicated for PVES. A normal fill-rate via peristaltic pump of >100ml/minute is guaranteed, together with accurate pressure transmissions with minimal intra-lumen interference. Cm-markings are printed in black on the pale blue tubing proximal to the UPP eye, located 70mm from the tip.
The UDC 3757 catheter has a 1400mm Ch4.5 blue-tinted pressure line, and 150mm Ch5 clear filling line. The length of both the PVES and filling/PURA lines on the UDC 3758 variant are shorter, at 150mm. Lines are each fitted with a colour-coded female luer.
This UPP catheter employs optimal Ch9 3-lumen tubing 550mm long, with the 3 channels physically separated to enable simultaneous filling, PVES and PURA to be performed if required. The Ch4.5 pressure lines for PVES and PURA are each 1400mm long to enable direct connection to the pressure dome: there is no need for additional extension lines to be used, so removing the elevated infection risk associated with multiple connections. The pressure lines are colour-tinted blue (PVES) and red (PURA) with matching winged female luers.
Stericom offers a range of rectal pressure catheters to be used in conjunction with our range of UPP and cystometry catheters as part of a diagnostic procedure to assess bladder function.
As well as our 2-lumen PVC cystometry catheters we offer a less pliant pebax cystometry catheter and single-lumen catheters are also available as a lower-cost solution for the basic test.
We also offer other accessories for urodynamic investigations: pump tube sets for the different systems.
