New dual-channel microtip transducer catheter for urethral pressure profile and cystometry.
Urethral pressure profilometry performed with a dual-channel microtipped transducer catheter and its use in the clinical investigation of female urinary stress incontinence and bladder hyperreflexia are described. A technique for performing filling and voiding cystometry in conjunction with dual-channel profilometry also is discussed.
