Laborie Medical Technologies has launched the Solar Anorectal Manometry Catheter and Solar Compact System for improved gastrointestinal diagnostics.
Said to be the first disposable high-resolution anorectal manometry (HRAM) device available, the Solar Catheter is designed to improve the diagnosis of defecatory disorders and pelvic-floor dysfunctions.
The ten-channel air-charged high-resolution anorectal manometry catheter can offer precise pressure measurements in the lower gastrointestinal tract when used with the reusable Solar Charger.
Designed to be portable, the Solar Compact System facilitates pharyngeal, oesophagal, and anorectal motility studies.
This system includes biofeedback mechanisms and is compatible with both air-charged and solid-state catheters. Its adaptability makes it an effective tool for diagnosing defecatory disorders.
The accompanying Laborie software complies with the International Anorectal Physiology Working Group protocol, ensuring adherence to guidelines.
Features such as automatic analysis based on the London Classification and the QuickView Analysis software simplify data interpretation and offer intuitive functionality, respectively, enhancing diagnostic precision and efficiency.
With HL7 and network capabilities, the system integrates smoothly into existing healthcare infrastructures, promoting easy data sharing.
The software also provides customisable procedures and reports for healthcare providers to tailor their diagnostic approach to individual patient needs.
Laborie gastroenterology vice-president and general manager Rhett Klein said: “The Solar Compact System and Solar Catheter were designed for portability and with single-use HRAM catheters that do not need to be sterilised like their solid-state reusable predecessors.
“At Laborie, our primary objective is to provide solutions that add clinical value to practices, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the patient experience.”
Last month, Laborie Medical announced an investment in I-O Urology, the developer of the CarePath uroflow device.
The CarePath at-home diagnostic tool aims to reduce urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) treatment.
