Abstract In order to remove artifacts due to side‐mounted sensor detection, while also retaining the unmatched frequency response of the microtransducer catheter (MTC), pressure detection in the urethra has been carried out by using a MTC with the sensor surrounded by a tiny, water‐filled balloon. In 14 women without stress incontinence, static and dynamic urethral pressures have been determined simultaneously with a balloon‐covered and a plain MTC coupled together.
