Background
| |
In some applications, it is desirable
to identify the position of a manometric assembly by fluoroscopy.
|
| |
Standard Dentsleeve
extrusions and non-sleeve assemblies do not incorporate
radio-opaque markers.
|
| |
In the case of sleeve assemblies, the
metal sleeve stiffener incorporated in the sleeve may
be adequate as a marker.
|
| |
If an assembly has a 1-1.5 mm diameter
channel which opens to the lumen, filling of this with
radiographic contrast will usually define the position
of the assembly.
|
| |
On request, Dentsleeve
can supply assemblies with permanent radio-opaque markings
tailored to individual need.
|
|
 |
Types of
radio-opaque markings
Specific manometric side
holes can be marked by filling the manometric lumen immediately
below the side hole with a radiodense marker.
The nature of the marking that is best will depend on the application.
Dentsleeve
is happy to advise and to develop markings tailored to a particular
need. |
