Order details

2 types available, sterile & single-use
shaped silicone balloon (UDC3410)
2-lumen unique design (UDC3440)
finger-free insertion

The popular and well proven UDC 3410 Bovingdon® Catheter employs single-lumen tubing and a shaped silicone balloon, whilst the UDC 3440 catheter features 2-channel tubing and a sealed PVC balloon.

Both designs are latex-free and are stiffened for finger-free insertion.

The popular Bovingdon Catheter employs a shaped silicone balloon with a 90 degree shoulder, soft enough for comfortable removal but significantly reducing the incidence of expulsion during the test. The red-tinted Ch6 single-channel catheter tubing is 2000mm long, thick-walled to resist occlusion and offers strong, accurate pressure transmissions.

Flexible, shaped and pre-slit 30mm silicone balloon chamber cannot collapse: protects catheter lumen from blockage
90° shoulder significantly reduces the incidence of expulsion, but is soft enough for comfortable removal
Stiffened 100mm introducer for “fingerless” insertion
Ch6 catheter tubing is 2000mm long to enable direct pressure dome-patient connection
Thick-walled Ch6 tubing to resist occlusion and give rapid, accurate pressure transmissions
Suitable for both rectal and vaginal pressure measurements

The UDC 3440 catheter employs a sealed, non-slit PVC balloon mounted on a stiffened 2-channel Ch10 tube. The entire catheter and balloon are water-perfused from the red-tinted winged luer, and the exit-tube sealed by a soft luer with attached watertight cap when all air has been expelled. The 1400mm long red-tinted Ch4.5 pressure line enables direct connection with the pressure dome, and connects to the 2-channel section via a Cathfix® connector.

Stericom’s rectal pressure catheters are used in conjunction with a range of cystometry catheters as part of a diagnostic procedure to assess bladder function. As well as our specialist rectal catheters, single-lumen rectal catheters with PVC balloons are available in a wide range of sizes and with various introducers.

Our cystometry catheter range includes a variety of 2-lumen PVC catheters and a less pliant pebax catheter. Single-lumen cystometry 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, extension sets and UPP catheters for uretha pressure profile investigations.
