  • METHOD OF ESOPHAGEAL FUNCTION TESTING WITH A STANDARDIZED THIXOTROPIC SWALLOW CHALLENGE MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20070225613
    Abstract: A swallow challenge medium is thixotropic for easy swallowing and to provide enough viscosity for effective challenge to peristalsis and has high ionic density for effective impedance measurements by contact with electrodes positioned in a person's esophagus or oropharynx during swallow testing. The medium also has a high surface tension so as not to adhere to or coat the electrodes or probe surfaces. These physical characteristics are stabilized and consistent enough to provide standard for esophageal and/or oropharyngeal function testing and diagnostics.
    Type: Application
