UPP Catheters
Urethral Pressure Profile Catheters
For over 30 years Mediplus has manufactured a gold standard range of catheters and accessories designed to enhance safety and comfort during urodynamic procedures.
The Mediplus urodynamic range was developed in conjunction with clinicians to ensure optimum performance and ease of use.
Mediplus catheters offer a wide range of benefits including:
Colour coded for ease of identification
Integrated extension sets to reduce the number of connections, thereby reducing inventory and lowering costs
Ergonomically designed with winged luer locks for optimum grip and secure connection to transducers
Specific lumen split reduces the size of the catheter whilst maintaining filling rates
Smooth ‘eyes’ reduce discomfort when inserting and removing the catheter

Technical Information
Mediplus Urodynamics single lumen UPP Catheter, designed for the Brown-Wickham Test, features diametrically-opposing holes 7cm from the tip for perfusion and simultaneous pressure measurement, centimetre markings for UPP, and winged luers for secure connections.
The Mediplus urodynamic double lumen UPP Catheters enable ease of patient catheterisation, with a fast filling rate followed by simultaneous accurate UPP and cystometry measurement.
The design is such that only 30% of the lumen cross-sectional area is devoted to cystometry measurement, with the remaining 70% dedicated to filling and sequential UPP.
This ensures a maximum fill rate of 100ml per minute (sizes Ch.8 and Ch.10 only) with a catheter diameter smaller than would otherwise be needed: hence greater convenience and patient comfort.
The pressure lines on codes 5704Y and 5724Y are 130cm in length to ensure direct connection of the patient's bladder to the pressure transducer without the need for additional extension tubing, so offering an accurate, cost-saving and convenient catheter.
