Embodiment Construction

[0023] Various embodiments described herein provide devices, devices, and methods for measuring pressure at various locations in the urinary tract (UT). Many embodiments provide devices, systems, and methods for measuring pressure at various locations in the urinary tract, including, for example, the bladder. More specifically, embodiments provide devices, systems and methods for measuring pressure at various locations in the urinary tract so that the effectiveness of urinary incontinence treatments can be assessed. Certain embodiments provide a catheter positionable within the urinary tract for measuring pressure within the bladder and urethra to facilitate placement of neuromodulation stimulation electrodes within the urinary tract for the treatment of overactive bladder.

[0024] reference now figure 1 , an embodiment of the catheter 10 for measuring pressure in the urinary tract includes a multi-lumen catheter body 20 ( figure 2 ), a proximal adapter 30 having one or m...

Abstract

A catheter for measuring pressure in the urinary tract of a patient. A plurality of lumens is formed in the catheter body, and an adaptor is coupled to the proximal end of the catheter body. The adaptor includes a port for each lumen. A first pressure sensor, typically including a balloon, is fluidically coupled to a first lumen and is configured and positioned to measure pressure in a urethra ofthe patient. A second pressure sensor, also typically including a balloon, is fluidically coupled to a second lumen and is configured and positioned on the catheter body to measure pressure in a bladder of the patient. An expandable retention member, which may be coupled to a third lumen, is positioned on the catheter body between the first and second expandable pressure sensors so that the catheter body may be retained at a selected location.

Description

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 62 / 160,201 (Attorney Docket No. 42197-735.101), filed May 12, 2015, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. Background technique [0003] 1. The field of invention. Embodiments described herein relate to devices, systems and methods for measuring urinary tract pressure. More specifically, embodiments described herein relate to devices, such as catheters, that can be positioned within the urinary tract (UT) for measuring pressure at one or more locations in the UT, such as the bladder and urethra. More specifically, embodiments described herein relate to a catheter positionable within the urinary tract for measuring pressure within the bladder and urethra to facilitate placement of a neuromodulation device within the urinary tract to treat overactive bladder. [0004] Urinary incontinence can be a common and f...
