Abstract
Systems and methods include techniques associated with endoscopic manometry. An inflatable structure may be inserted within a tissue structure and inflated or deflated to induce a physiological response for a patient. In operation, the physiological response may be induced while a patient is sedated, which may decrease physical and/or psychological pain to the patient.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a plurality of sensors associated with the carrier, the plurality of sensors arranged along a length of the carrier;
- and
- an inflatable structure associated with the carrier, the inflatable structure having an injection port to receive a fluid, wherein the inflatable structure is configured to have at least one of a first diameter, a first volume, or a first cross-sectional area in a relaxed position and at least one of a second diameter, a second volume, or a second cross-sectional area in an engaged position.

A system, comprising:
- a carrier;
- a plurality of sensors associated with the carrier, the plurality of sensors arranged along a length of the carrier;
- and
- an inflatable structure associated with the carrier, the inflatable structure having an injection port to receive a fluid to transition between a first inflatable structure volume and a second inflatable structure volume, wherein the first inflatable structure volume is less than the second inflatable structure volume.
1 more element
A carrier for performing an endoscopic manometry procedure, comprising:
- a plurality of sensors arranged along a length of the carrier;
- and
- an inflatable structure associated with the carrier, the inflatable structure having an injection port to receive a fluid, wherein the inflatable structure is configured to have at least one of a first diameter, a first volume, or a first cross-sectional area in a relaxed position and at least one of a second diameter, a second volume, or a second cross-sectional area in an engaged position.
