Benefits

The BladderScan® Dedicated non invasive bladder volume measurement benefits:

Medical efficacy

  • Reduce unnecessary medical handling
  • Improve clinical decision making in patients with neurogenic, temporally, deterioratingly or functionally impaired bladder
  • Diagnose retention, prohibit bladder over distensions
  • Manage and master bladder volume
  • Allow bladder management nursing time
  • Avoid urinary catheterisation (C.D.C. guideline)
  • Make bladder catheterization time short and as infrequent as possible
  • Reduce Urine Tract Infections ( U.T.I.’s )
  • Verify Post Void Residual (P.V.R.) or pre-op. bladder emptiness
  • Minimize complications of bladder dysfunction
  • Reduce negative consequences of bladder catheterizations
  • Improve on patient's Quality of Life
  • Making patient’s assessment of bladder volume more precise and quantitive

Accurate, safe, easy and accepted

  • Superior accuracy, also to catheterizing because of insight P.V.R.
  • Easy to learn, simple three step handling
  • Safe, reliable, proven technology
  • Gives automatic milliliters read out in seconds
  • World installed base of 25.000 instruments

Economic efficacy

  • Save valuable catheterization time
  • Save catheterization costs
  • Save costs related to U.T.I.’s
  • Save costs related to consequences of over distensions
  • Measure bladder volume in seconds
  • Simple short training

  • New standard of Care, e.g. regime stroke patients
  • Every department can use
  • Environmentally safe, no known side effects
  • Improves patient turnover

Patient’s Quality of Life

  • Atraumatic, reduces potential iatrogenic sufferance
  • Prohibit diagnostic volume catheterization
  • Prohibit consequences of too frequent catheterization
