"I want what's best for our patients. It's noninvasive. It's efficient. It's quick. You come back and you have an answer for the patient." - Urologist

The BladderScan® can help caregivers noninvasively diagnose, manage and treat bladder dysfunction, including common conditions such as: Urinary Incontinence Urinary Retention Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) By implementing the BladderScan®, you can improve quality of life for patients with bladder dysfunction.

Some of the specific applications of BladderScan^® technology are listed below. For more detailed information, visit the clinical education section of our website or consult one of our clinical manuals.

Diagnosis, Management and Treatment:
	Measure post-void residual (PVR)
	Differentiate urological problems
	Diagnose occult urinary retention
	Identify blocked Foley catheter
	Prescribe appropriate medications for incontinence
	Verify empty bladder
	Determine hydration status
	Assess bladder health
	Evaluate need to catheterize
	Establish volume (vs. time) based intermittent catheterization protocols
	Discontinue Foley catheter use
	Voiding Trials
	Establish Voiding Schedules
	Bladder retraining (biofeedback)
Prevention:
	Eliminate unnecessary catheterization
	Prevent undiagnosed retention
	Reduce incidence of nosocomial UTI
	Minimize antibiotic use associated with UTI
	Minimize (catheter-related) upper urinary tract damage
	Prevent bladder over distension
	Reduce incontinence episodes

Bladder dysfunction can have many underlying causes. Patients may suffer from diverse conditions, such as acute cerebral vascular incidents (i.e., stroke), diabetes, kidney disease, neurological disease (e.g., Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's), post-operative urinary retention, prostatitis, side effects from certain medications, spinal cord injury, or weak or damaged pelvic floor muscles/ nerves (from surgery, childbirth).
