ABSTRACT:
A cystometric device for use in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence caused by detrusor instability. The device includes an opaque, vertically-elongated, rigid body of substantially uniform cross section throughout its length having a vertically-extending channel along its front face and a pair of similar channels along its rear face. The channels are of incomplete circular cross section and receive flexible transparent tubing utilized in the circuitry of the cystometric system. Because of the configuration and opacity of the bady, the tubing retained in the front channel can be observed from the front of the device while the tubing received in the rear channels is concealed from view.
