Clinical Application
Used to assist meatotomy procedures, the instrument provides secure traction and exposure of the external meatus during controlled incision or enlargement. Commonly employed in urological settings to treat meatal stenosis, to facilitate catheter placement, or to maintain exposure during minor perimeatal procedures under local or general anesthesia. The forceps-style design supports precise tissue handling to minimize slippage and help control the incision plane.
Design & Configuration
The forceps-style configuration delivers direct tactile control and sustained traction of the meatal margin, improving visualization and stabilizing tissue while the surgeon performs a measured incision. A slender working end preserves access in confined perimeatal spaces, and the ergonomic handle enables fine adjustments of tension and position. These characteristics help reduce the risk of uneven cuts and permit predictable results in outpatient or operating-room settings.
