The Beginning - Sleeve Sensor
Dentsleeve was originally formed
in 1993, but the story goes back over 28 years of research and development.
Recently acquired by Mui Scientific Inc. and now based in Ontario,
Canada, the company is built around the invention
of the perfused sleeve sensor by John Dent, M.D., Ph.D. The sleeve
sensor is used in evaluations of sphincter function. In contrast
to other methods, the sleeve sensor measures pressure continuously
and is the only reliable method for measurement of sphincter relaxation.
The sleeve provides a more complete picture on which to base a treatment
plan. No other device with proven capabilities equivalent to the
sleeve has yet been developed.
Silicone Rubber Catheters - Infection Control, Patient Comfort,
Long Life
Along with the sleeve sensor, Dentsleeve
has pioneered the use of silicone rubber for manometry catheters.
Silicone rubber is a durable yet flexible material able to withstand
high temperature sterilization processes. In the clinical setting
this translates to effective infection control without exposure
to harmful chemicals, and unparalleled patient comfort.
Development by Leading Clinicians & Researchers
Dentsleeve's success in developing
innovative and technically advanced products is a result of the
collaboration between leading researchers at prominent research
centres. In particular Professor John Dent M.D., Ph.D. of the Royal
Adelaide Hospital and Taher Omari Ph.D.
Evolved Products for Clinical Applications
Today clinicians and patients all over the world benefit from this
R & D foundation. Dentsleeve products
are designed to provide accurate results, ultimate infection control
and patient comfort.
Innovations
Dentsleeve innovations include:
-
Sleeve sensor - for continuous sphincter measurements
-
100% silicone rubber catheters - fully autoclavable for best
possible sterilisation
-
Micro-manometry - for applications when size is important,
for example paediatric applications or high level research studies
involving channels in excess of 23 channels.
