The Uses Of HS Catheters

By Mark Williams


Medical exams necessitate the use of some back up or support equipment that are used for the physical part of these exams. These are now accepted sets necessary for checking on the internal systems of a body. The procedures related to these are scan types that make internal checks possible.

The pathology of a uterus is one such area in need of physical equipment for check ups. The thing in question is the HS catheter, which is in use for a procedure called Hysterosalpingography or Sonohysterography. These are important in visually delineating areas inside fallopian tubes and uterine cavity.

The terms that apply are very technical in the medical sense, but the article will try to couch these in more common and easily understood language. The most important terms need to be relayed but they are part of explanations that describe the catheter in layman terms. The usability of the product is only for preliminary support process, within the scope of a magnetic resonance type exam.

Medical technology has created such important use for what is a quite simple thing, that is needed to track the health of the feminine genital area. The experts in the field all agree that had there been better and non invasive ways, they would certainly be used, however the use of catheters is currently the most viable. In the future, there might not be a need for them.

The catheters are used for injecting the contrast media, which works on the same principles as dyes, which can be tracked and monitored by machines that are similar to MRI scans. Actually, they are the same, except that other well known scans are for different parts of a body. Thus, the elongated objects are part of preliminary procedures for these scans.

Chemical dyes are of several varieties, and are tagged for certain areas that need to be mapped out and checked. The finest tubing available is of course the HS, smaller items cannot support the attachments to the tube. And in any case, the size is perfect for accessing the most hard to reach places. They are pathways that create precise magnetic echoes that are inputted into a computer program that provides visual patterns.

Resonating echoes are constantly monitored by a machine that uses software, and the mapping is for the final configuration of dyes for an entire area. Again, contrast media are targeted for specific places that are either affected and need to be visualized. For example, one media or dye is supposed to track a chemical process within a uterine area.

There are also certain types of tubes in use during the entire process. This is because there are variances that might apply in terms of size. A team composed of relevant specialists work in tandem with a doctor. The team does the monitoring and actual exam and the doctor monitors the program for problems that may happen.

They are not very expensive, but also require that they are made up to exact standards and specifications. Thus, medical equipment companies have very high standards of quality in the manufacture for these things. You can buy them on your own at pharmacies or company outlets, but mostly these are provided along with the MRI test, and may be deducted as specific items on your health insurance coverage.
