Laborie Medical Technologies introduced the Solar compact system and Solar anorectal manometry catheter, which the company touts as the first disposable HRAM catheter on the market.
The devices further diagnostic capabilities for defecatory disorders and pelvic floor dysfunction related to constipation and fecal incontinence by measuring static and dynamic pressures in the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The Solar catheter is a 10-channel, air-charged, high-resolution anorectal manometry tool. The disposable catheter interfaces with the reusable Solar charger for accurate pressure measurements in the lower GI tract.
Laborie said the Solar compact system was tailored for offices thanks to a portable, cost-effective design. The company also said it streamlines conducting pharyngeal, esophageal, and anorectal motility investigations by incorporating biofeedback mechanisms as well as accommodating air-charged and solid-state catheters.
The Laborie software also conforms to the International Anorectal Physiology Working Group (IAPWG) protocol. Automatic analysis based on the London Classification streamlines interpretation, and the QuickView Analysis software provides intuitive functionality for precise, efficient interpretation of data.
HL7 and network availability also facilitates data sharing and integration into existing systems. The software offers customizable procedures and reports to create tailored solutions.
"The Solar Compact System and Solar Catheter were designed for portability and with single-use HRAM catheters that do not need to be sterilized like their solid-state reusable predecessors," said Rhett Klein, VP and GM of Laborie's Gastroenterology Business Unit. "At Laborie, our primary objective is to provide solutions that add clinical value to practices, improve patient outcomes, and enhance the patient experience."
Earlier this month, Laborie shared positive two- and five-year results from studies of its Optilume BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) catheter system.
