Systems, devices and methods that can be used to obtain objective pressure measurements in a body cavity using one or more monitoring bladders mounted on a catheter. The monitoring bladders may be adapted to connect or be connected to a system capable of providing objective pressure measurements indicative of the compressive forces acting on the one or more monitoring bladder in the body cavity. The body cavity may include, for example, the rectum, esophagus, stomach, intestine, colon, reproductive tract, urethra, oronasopharnygeal tract, etc.

Systems, devices and methods for assessment of body cavity pressures

Anorectal diagnostic procedures are oftentimes carried out with the patient laying in the left decubitus position, which leads to non-representative response to test maneuvers due to the unnatural position and patient anxiety. Devices spanning, or fastened on, the interglutial cleft of a patient allow for a more natural patient position and eliminate non-representative responses.
