We evaluated the accuracy and reliability of the Camino and Millar systems using our closed circuit system to determine whether they can be useful for measurement of intramuscular pressure.
Both catheters as well as wick catheter reflected the mercury pressure precisely and were considered to be applicable for measurement of intramuscular pressure. These catheters were found to be simple in the technique and very useful for long-term measurements of compartment pressure or continuous measurements during exercise.
