Clinical Application
Used for atraumatic urethral calibration and dilation, this instrument helps clinicians assess urethral patency, negotiate short strictures, and facilitate placement of urethral catheters or cystoscopes. The 13 Fr size is commonly used when a mid-range calibration is required during diagnostic evaluation, intraoperative assessment, or pre-procedural preparation in urology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospital operating rooms.
Design & Configuration
The tapered, atraumatic tip and smooth shaft geometry are intended to minimize mucosal trauma while allowing controlled advancement through the urethral lumen. The flexible shaft permits negotiation of mild curvature and strictured segments, improving the clinician’s ability to pass the instrument without force. This combination of taper and flexibility provides tactile feedback for safe and precise calibration or dilation.
