Clinical Application
Used for atraumatic urethral calibration and gentle bougienage to establish or confirm lumen patency, facilitate catheter placement, and initiate graded dilation of urethral strictures. The 11 Fr caliber provides a small, commonly used intermediate diameter suitable for initial passage in narrowed urethras or for use in patients requiring a smaller-profile dilator.
Design & Configuration
The tapered shaft and rounded atraumatic tip are designed to negotiate the native curvature of the urethra while minimizing mucosal abrasion. Semi-flexible geometry allows the instrument to follow the urethral tract without excessive buckling, giving the operator controlled tactile feedback when traversing strictures or narrowing segments. A smooth, polished surface reduces resistance during insertion and withdrawal, improving patient comfort and procedural control.
