Laborie Medical Technologies has been actively marketing T-DOC(R) products with its award-winning Urodynamics systems for several years in North America. Air-charged technology offers ease of use along with repeatability of measurement needed in diagnostic procedures such as Urodynamics or Anorectal manometry. Ease of use translates to less setup time, less troubleshooting and more time working with the patient. T-DOC(R), along with Laborie's line of UDS systems, has the full CE Mark registration along with the FDA clearance to market the device in appropriate territories.

"T-DOC(R) has simplified the cumbersome setup of performing manometric measurements such as Urodynamics. This in turn has improved the consistency of measurements over a wider range of users," says Ing Han Goping, Chief Scientific Officer, LABORIE.

Preparations are underway to provide new and existing Laborie clients compatibility with T-DOC(R) transducer technology via appropriate upgrade paths.
