  • Title: A catheter withdrawing apparatus for clinical urethral pressure profile studies.
    Author: Lowe PJ, Saunders GA, Downie JW, Awad SA.
    Journal: J Urol; 1976 Nov; 116(5):636-8. PubMed ID: 978817.
    Abstract:
    An apparatus for withdrawing a urethral catheter at a constant speed is described. The motor and the puller assembly are separate components so that the puller assembly can be autoclaved. By matching pulling speed to recorder chart speed a reproducible representation of urethral length can be obtained without using a displacement transducer. The apparatus has been used clinically for measuring urethral pressure profiles.
