ERCP Manometric Catheters

(1 )100 cm long extensions are needed to connect the single and triple lumen catheters to the Hydraulic Capillary Infusion System (sets of 4 only EX4). (2)Side hole spacing other than the standard spacing shown above, available on special request. * Not included

These unique catheters enable the skilled endoscopist to measure pressures in the common bile duct, pancreatic duct, sphincter of oddi and duodenum. Their small diameter and low friction characteristics allow them to be passed through the cannulating channel of most endoscopes.
Easily visualized circumferential markings, proximal to the catheter side-hole recording sites permit the endoscopist to control the depth of catheter insertion into either the pancreatic or common bile duct. A radiopaque marker distal to the recording sites aids in radiographic localization of the catheter.

New ER3GW
The specifications of this catheter are the same as for the triple lumen ER3 with the exception of the distal tip. We have made it possible to easily pass this catheter into the pancreatic or common bile duct with the aid of a guide wire. The guide wire passes through only the distal 2 cm of lumen number one and then exits that lumen allowing the use of all lumens for pressure recording. In most cases the guide wire should be removed after the catheter is passed into the duct as it may interfere with accurate pressure measurements at site number one. As seen on the diagram the longer tip helps keep the catheter in the sphincter during pressure measuring pull throughs.
These catheters are reusable and may be gas sterilized.
