Global Market Likely to be Driven by the Need to Assess Problems Related to the Bladder

Cystometry, with pressure flow study, forms part of urodynamic testing (UDS). Such tests assess how well the bladder functions, and help identify problems related to urine control, including incontinence, difficulty emptying the bladder, overactive bladder, obstructions or frequent infections. Cystometry assesses the amount of urine the bladder is able to hold, and gauges pressure within the bladder, and how full it becomes before the individual feels the urge to empty the bladder.

Before the test, some individuals may be asked to stop particular medications. Some antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection. The bladder would be emptied before the test; thereafter, a catheter (a small, soft tube) is implanted into the urethra to reach the bladder. The catheter enables complete emptying of the bladder.  It is also used to gauge the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after emptying. Further, it measures bladder strength by recording pressure. Another catheter that is small in size, is inserted into the rectum to assess pressure on the bladder exterior in the abdomen. The bladder is slowly filled with liquid (sterile water, sterile saline, or a sterile fluid) containing a dye visible on x-ray. Once the patient feels a full bladder and the need to urinate, the patient empties the bladder with catheters and sensors in place, which allow assessment of pressure (voiding pressure study or pressure flow study) as the patient urinates.

Leading firms offer a full range of urodynamics catheters and accessories, including pump tubing sets and transducer domes for other manufacturers’ equipment. Such solutions are expected to stimulate the global cystometry catheters market. Catheter features include:

• Colour coded lines (red for rectal, blue for bladder).
• Sufficiently long extension lines that reach from the patient to the urodynamics machine, integrated into the catheter during manufacture. 
• Asymmetric lumens in double and triple catheters; filling lumen is bigger than the pressure assessing lumen. 
• For doctors who prefer to use single lumen separate bladder filling and bladder pressure catheters, filling catheters come with a diamond-shaped eye to improve release of bladder pressure catheter during the ‘piggy-back’ technique of catheter introduction into the bladder. 
• Single lumen rectal pressure measuring catheters are available in the market. With the help of a flap valve or a vented balloon at the proximal tip of the catheter, air may be released easily from the catheter lumen during the filling phase of the procedure. Single lumen rectal catheters are smaller than double lumen rectal catheters and more comfortable while being less expensive. 
• Triple lumen catheter, made to measure Urethral Pressure Profile, is available; a low-profile collar is placed on each side of the urethral pressure measuring eye to create a 360° ring of fluid around the circumference of the catheter while assessing urethral pressure. Thus, pressure variation in the urethra is averaged, improving test accuracy.
