  • Automatic valve greatly simplifies IAP monitoring to a one-step process

  • Ideal solution for the operating room, where the Anesthesiologist can monitor IAP from his/her workstation

  • Simplifies ICU nursing tasks - measure IAP in seconds and trend the pressure to improve patient care

  • Consistent, standardized intra-abdominal pressure data -- eliminates variability

  • Closed system with silicone syringe sleeve helps to reduce nosocomial infection risk

  • Integrates with the existing hospital transducer, Foley catheter and patient monitor

  • Non-invasive, closed system

  • Needle-free, latex-free
