A novel hinged anoscope allows for easy insertion of rectal catheters. This device enables catheter removal without disconnecting it from external monitoring or collection systems.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Instruments

Background:

  • Rectal catheter insertion can be challenging.
  • Current methods may require disconnection from monitoring systems.
  • A need exists for improved catheter insertion and management tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new hinged anoscope design.
  • To facilitate the insertion of rectal catheters.
  • To allow for seamless removal of the anoscope without catheter disconnection.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a hinged anoscope.
  • Testing the device for rectal catheter insertion.
  • Evaluation of device removal with attached catheters.
