SYNFLEX pH Catheters

SYNFLEX™
pH-Catheter for measurement of acid reflux in the oesophagus

SynFlex™ has been developed to perform high quality 24-hour pH-recordings in the oesophagus. This disposable antimony catheter with internal reference is designed for an easy intubation of the patient using a flexible catheter with optimal stiffness and at the same time have a minimum of discomfort during the examination. The diameter is only 4.7 F (1.6 mm) which makes the catheter suitable for both children and adults.

SynFlex™ is latex free and radiopaque (barium filled) for accurate placement during x-ray. The sensor has a linear response in the application range of pH 2-8, has minimal drift, and has a fast response time.
