Clinical Application
Used in urologic procedures to calibrate and dilate the urethra, assess the caliber of suspected strictures, and assist passage of catheters or successive dilators. The instrument provides tactile feedback during insertion to help clinicians locate narrow segments of the urethral lumen and determine appropriate management (dilation, urethrotomy or further diagnostic evaluation).
Design & Configuration
The tapered, atraumatic tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage while the single-ended, straight profile offers predictable directionality for anterior urethral work. A semi-rigid feel balances flexibility and control, allowing the operator to negotiate mild angulation in the urethra while maintaining tactile feedback to detect resistive strictures.
