Clinical Application
Used by urologists and operating room staff for urethral calibration, controlled dilation of urethral strictures, and as a guide to facilitate placement of urethral catheters and instruments. The device is typically used in diagnostic cystoscopy procedures, pre-operative dilation, or when negotiating a narrowed urethral lumen to establish a working channel. Proper lubrication and aseptic technique are required to minimize mucosal trauma and infection risk.
Design & Configuration
The straight, tapered profile and rounded (olive) atraumatic tip are intended to reduce mucosal abrasion during insertion and passage through narrowed segments. The Guyon pattern provides a firm, yet smooth leading surface to negotiate strictures and to act as a reliable guide for subsequent catheter or instrument introduction. The single-ended, rigid configuration delivers the tactile feedback clinicians rely on when sensing resistance or passage into the bladder.
