THD PressProbe is a disposable active probe for the execution of the THD Anal manometry exam. The probe allows the measurement of the real medium phincter tone pressure in the different functional activations (basal, squeeze and strain tones). THD PressProbe is meant to be used exclusively in combination with THD Anopress.The probe has an ergonomic grip and a completely atraumatic profile, which ensures the maximum comfort for both doctor and patient during the examintaion and it has been designed in order to reproduce a normal digital examination.Each pack contains a proprietary Probe Card, to enable the recording of the examination.
A non-electrical flexible tube intended to be inserted through the nose or rectum into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for measuring pressure to assess peristaltic motility in the GI tract (e.g., oesophagus, stomach) or rectal musculature and anal sphincter functions, typically in the evaluation of GI disorders [e.g., gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), faecal incontinence]. It functions via infusion of water (water-perfused catheter) or insufflation of air/gas (air-charged catheter) into the catheter, whereby pressure signals are conducted to proximally-connected external pressure transducers in/connected to a dedicated analysis system. This is a single-use device.
