Clinical Application
Used to establish or maintain urethral patency and to assist insertion of catheters or endoscopic instruments. Commonly employed in the evaluation and management of urethral strictures, for progressive dilation during office or operating-room procedures, and to provide tactile feedback when negotiating the urethral lumen prior to definitive intervention.
Design & Configuration
The semirigid straight-profile geometry balances flexibility with sufficient column strength to transmit manual guidance while minimizing the risk of buckling. A gradually tapered, atraumatic tip facilitates atraumatic negotiation of narrowed segments and reduces mucosal trauma during passage. The single-piece configuration provides smooth, continuous surfaces to aid insertion and cleaning.
