How An HS Catheter Works

By Mark Williams


Medical equipment are often used in examinations, especially for hard to reach and sensitive areas of the body. They are a necessity that most accept as part of medical procedures. The equipment in question are of the physical sets of check ups for the narrower spaces of internal organs.

These equipment make the processes within uterine pathology that much easier. These processes are usually for visualizing the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, and the equipment is known as the HS catheter. They help examiners create a virtual visual topography of the condition of said organs in a process call Hysterosalpingography.

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.

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 MRI scan has been applied to the genital parts of females, and it is where the catheter is used for injecting contrast media, which are used like dyes. There are no large differences with other types of scanning for different parts of the body. And the simple tubing and its attachments enable the experts to make successful scans.

Dyes are of several types, used for specific areas like the uterus or the fallopian system, and tasked to visualize the conditions of these. Finer tubes are not viable, the HS being the finest that can be used for accessing the more restricted internal areas. The tubes form the main artery of exact delivery systems that make a scan perfect, actually not a true visual program but a visual map created by magnetic echoes.

The echoes or resonance are tracked by a computer aided machine, that maps out the areas where the contrast media or dyes have accessed. These dyes are targeted for certain areas that are either affected or a system that needs to be checked out. Thus one dye can be for the way some vital chemicals process flows through the uterus.

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.

The tubes are not hard to make or expensive, but exact specifications need to be addressed. This makes the standards very high for the companies that make them. They can be bought over the counter or direct from the factory, but then hospitals usually cover these items, and they are listed down specific for HMO insurance.
