Why does Dentsleeve offer oesophageal catheters that have several different diameters?
Because users have differing priorities and needs, and smaller diameter catheters are essential for paediatric and neonatal manometry. For example, one major surgical laboratory that we supply uses our 3.5mm diameter (E27) extrusion solely, because they want patients to return for follow-up research studies. Because the 3.5mm catheter is so well tolerated, most patients agree to subsequent studies.
