Innovative catheter technology minimizes leakage, maximizes comfort

hygh‑tec combines intelligent design with the exceptional elastic properties of polyurethane. hygh-tec revolutionizes fecal management by providing reliable leakproof access to the patient’s colon, paving the way for novel treatment-oriented applications. In addition to contamination-free fecal diversion, the transanal sealing mechanism of hygh‑tec also allows for irrigation and delivery of medication into the colon.

How does hygh-tec work?

Transanal sealing mechanism

dumbbell-shaped drainage head
micro-thin polyurethane (PUR) balloon
extending from the rectum through the anal canal
low-pressure filling of air into the balloon
follows the movements of the patient and their sphincter

More about hygh-tec

Sphincter-synchronized design

absorbs the currently prevailing force in the rectum and synchronizes it to seal the sphincter
adapts to the current pressure situation in the rectum and abdomen
reliable transanal sealing even in patients with diarrhea Should this be liquid stool?
reliable transanal seal even in alert and mobilized patients

More about hygh-tec

Elastic deformation & recovery

follows the movements of the anal sphincter
compresses inwards radially in the anal canal when sphincter tone is normal
has shape memory and returns to open position in the anal canal when tone decreases and the sphincter relaxes
