Filled with water which ran through the tube, a sterilizing chamber (which was attached to a recording cystometer), another tube, a catheter and thus into the bladder and urethra; used in conjunction with this equipment to measure pressure in the bladder and urethra; quite an antiquated system when it was retired in 1996
