manometry catheters

Manometry catheters are specialized medical devices used to measure pressure in different parts of the digestive system, such as the esophagus or the rectum. These thin, flexible tubes are inserted into the body and equipped with sensors that detect pressure changes. Doctors use manometry to diagnose conditions like swallowing disorders or bowel problems by analyzing how well muscles function in these areas. This information helps guide treatment options and improve patient care, allowing for a better understanding of how food and waste move through the digestive tract.
