What is High Resolution Manometry?

High Resolution Manometry (HRM) is a state-of-the-art approach of measuring pressures in the esophageal body and presentation of the results. This method consists of measuring multiple pressures simultaneously, allowing detailed assessment of all relevant data for the whole esophagus. HRM solutions for antroduodenum, small bowel and colon are available as well.

Besides the conventional displays, rapid data interpretation via Clouse contour plots can be established. The Clouse contour plot display offers more information than the traditional pressure curves and is still easier to analyze due to the recognition of typical patterns. Laborie offers 36 pressures solid state and 22 pressure channels water-perfused HRM solutions.

HRM Advantages:

• Improved understanding of the motility peristaltic pressure waves
• Manage risks of misdiagnosis of achalasia (pseudo relaxation of the LES)
• Perform UES/LES investigations (also with water-perfused catheters)

Clinical Applications of HRM:

• High Resolution Esophagus Manometry (HRM)
• High Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRIM)
• High Resolution Anorectal Manometry (HRAM)
• High Resolution Manometry combined with Video

HRM can also be combined with impedance measurement (HRIM) and/or video images and cineloops to view the swallows and bolus movement in the esophagus.

Flexible HRM system, with various catheter options (solid state, water perfused and air-charged), for all your patient groups and for each budget. It can be expanded with HRIM, HRSM, HRCM and HRAM. The plug-and-play design, developed in close co-operation with leading university hospitals, provides incomparable flexibility in configuring a system to meet all of your specific diagnostic needs.

With the latest developments such as Chicago Classification 4.0, QuickView analysis program, 3D Esophageal Pressure Topography (EPT) and state-of-the-art catheter technology, you can perform quick (10 minutes only), reliable and accurate procedures.
