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.

Uterine pathology can be accessed with the help of such equipment. This most helpful part of the process is called the HS catheter, used in the preliminary process that is part of Sonohysterography, also known as Hysterosalpingography. They help provide the means of mapping out the conditions in the uterus and related organs.

In medical technical terms, the items can be hard to understand, so this article tries to translate them into everyday language so that it can be clearly read. What is relayed in technical terms is necessary for the layman descriptions of a catheter and its purposes and use. It is very important for the vital preliminaries related to magnetic resonance exams and and their effectivity.

It is a wonder of medical science how one simple and small thing is vital to discovering the start of diseases or giving a projection of the feminine genital system. Most doctors agree on how these invasive procedures may be replaced with other, better and non invasive procedures in the future. But currently, these catheters need to be used.

The entire process where catheters are used is MRI style scanning, and the first thing done should be the injection of dyes, otherwise known as contrast media, by catheters for internal monitoring done by complex machines. Actually there the procedure is an MRI scan specific to the uterine area. The preliminary procedure using catheters make the scan possible.

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.

Magnetic resonance is trackable and in constant flux, but the final form is a thing that is easily mapped by a computer program. The dyes are process specific, meaning the become part of a specific chemical process within the uterus. This it is possible to visualize the correlations of processes by the use of several dyes.

Of course, there are certain types of equipment in use, because there are related procedures that need specific sizing. A specialist team does the actual physical exam and handles the monitoring system, and a doctor oversees the entire process, important in tracking changes and complications that arise.

These are not things that are hard to make or cost a lot, the need being that they are made up to quality standards. The companies involved in their manufacture all follow strict quality control in the manufacturing process. They are quite accessible, either through local distributors like drugstores but most medical centers will provide them, adding them with insurance coverage.
