Clinical use of biocompatible ultrasonic bladder volume sensor.
A biocompatible ultrasonic bladder volume sensor has been developed and successfully employed to sense bladder fullness in healthy volunteers. It is anticipated that it will be of practical use in patients with diabetic autonomic neuropathy as well as in patients employing self-intermittent catheterization.
