Next-generation design
Next-level performance

Designed to support optimal care

The hygh-tech® system was engineered to address the high leakage rate of first-generation fecal management systems (FMS). By dramatically reducing leakage, hygh-tec enables your staff to work more safely and efficiently, and provide the best possible patient care.

MATERIAL
POLYURETHANE (PUR)
Maintains molded shape, while allowing natural movement.
SILICONE
Can stretch and lose shape.
BALLOON
DESIGN
DUAL DUMBBELL SHAPE
Provides optimal sealing with two anchoring points.
OVAL OR CYLINDRICAL
Single sealing zone vulnerable to movement.
INTERNAL
SHAFT
WAVE-LIKE TUBING
Moves easily with sphincter muscles, resists twisting and allows unimpeded flow.
FLIMSY
Easily twisted, tendency to migrate.
SEALING
MECHANISM
DYNAMIC
Self-adjusting, 2-zone seal minimizes leaks.
STATIC
Single zone. Does not adapt to the contraction/relaxation of the sphincter and the patient‘s movements.

Smart sealing technology

Normal Resting Tone

The air-filled PUR balloon and wave-shaped shaft contract radially when the sphincter muscles are in their resting contracted state, conforming to the anal canal and easily adapting to the patient’s movement to maintain its overall seal.

Opening Reflex

When the sphincter relaxes during the opening reflex, the air in the balloon moves downward, retaining its fully conforming seal and the balloon’s well-anchored position in the rectum/anal canal. At the same time, the shaft opens the drainage pathway for an umimpeded flow of stool.

Normal Resting Tone

When sphincter muscles return to their resting state, hygh-tec recontracts for a secure seal against leaks.

The hygh-tec system

Developed for continuous stool removal with efficient sealing for up to 30 days, each hygh-tec FMS kit includes:
– 1 stool drainage system
– Air filling syringe with volume indication
– 2L Stool collection bag
– Instructions for use
