New research and diagnosis tools are needed to continuously measure bowel state and activity. We investigated functionality of several sensors in vivo and in vitro. Five sensor types, including pressure, infrared, color, conductivity and capacitance, were tested to validate functionality inside the colon. Initial wired prototypes were tested and calibrated in benchtop testing and then inserted intraluminally into pig colon and rectum in three acute surgical procedures. The results from both benchtop and in-vivo testing correlate and indicate that pressure, conductivity, and capacitance measurements could provide information on the state of the bowel and its activity. |
