Evolution of TraumaGuard to Accurately Measure Intra-Abdominal Pressure via the Bladder

Sentinel Medical Technologies (“SMT”) has developed and patented innovative technology to measure pressure in various body compartments, such as the bladder, muscle, and other potential spaces. This platform technology can be used in multiple segments within medicine. SMT has focused development efforts on The TraumaGuard Catheter System (“TG”) for IntraAbdominal Pressure (“IAP”) measurement required to detect Intra-Abdominal Hypertension (“IAH”) and life-threatening Compartment Syndrome (“ACS”).

“I would recommend TraumaGuard to my colleagues – having watched it correlate 1:1 in the OR with insufflation pressures, as well as looking at the ease of use – this is a very valuable technology to use going forward, especially in resuscitation of patients in the ICU.”

Leo Mercer, MD, Critical Care Surgery Specialist, Hurley Medical Center

“Accuracy is difficult to assess – I can tell you that the best reference number I have for Intra-abdominal Pressure is coming off an insufflator, and to the extent that the TraumaGuard catheter is correlating - almost 1:1 - with that number, is comforting. It really can’t get better than that, frankly.”
