Specialist Products in the Single-use Anorectal Range

Mediplus Anorectal Balloon Catheter

Product code 2304

Mediplus anorectal catheters provide major benefits for both patients and user.  The unique smoother material formulation ensures easier introduction due to its excellent surface characteristics. The catheter is soft yet not flaccid, so there is no need for an assistant in attendance.

The combination of both radial and longitudinal perfusion ports on one catheter offers significant advantages over catheters with either only longitudinal or only radial ports configuration.

This new combined catheter allows assessment of radial pressure data from
the four radial ports - generating three-dimensional pressure images - and vector volume analysis, whereas the four longitudinal sensors enable assessment of both voluntary and distension induced anal sphincter response.  Therefore, anal pressure, sensory and motor responses can be acquired using one catheter, and offering cost saving with single-use.

Mediplus Rectal Stump (Vector Manometry) Catheter

Product code 2386

Mediplus rectal stump catheters have been designed specifically for patients
with less than 10cm of accessible distal bowel in which to evaluate anal canal sphincter function.  It is important to have an accurate measurement for anal canal sphincter function in patients who have a temporary colostomy and are awaiting reconnection to establish intestinal continuity so as to predict the likelihood of faecal incontinence.

The Mediplus rectal stump catheter allows an accurate measure of anal canal sphincter function in this situation because the recording ports are located 0.5cm from the insertion tip, rather than at 5cm as in other commercially available water-perfused manometry catheters.
