Development of a novel intra-vaginal transducer with improved dynamic response.

摘要: Limitations of standard clinical pressure transducers have hampered our ability to provide reliable measurements intra-abdominal (IAP) during physical activities. To overcome these limitations, a novel intravaginal transducer (IVT) capable accurate, reliable, and continuous IAP normal activity was developed. The design validated through comparison with in both bench top tests. IVT demonstrated an improved dynamic response when compared rectal balloon catheter. Additionally, the radially symmetric allows for accurate measurement within non-fluid-filled tissue cavities simple placement vaginal canal. This is advantage over sensor-tipped which are only fluid-filled compartments. presented here preliminary wireless version that will allow activities outside clinic.
