The OB/GYN 11″ Van Buren Urethral Sound 14Fr is a professional-grade urological instrument designed for controlled urethral dilation, urethral calibration, and diagnostic evaluation of the lower urinary tract. Commonly used by urologists, OB/GYN specialists, and healthcare professionals, this instrument facilitates the safe assessment and gradual dilation of the urethra while providing excellent tactile feedback and procedural control.
Measuring 11 inches in overall length, the Van Buren Urethral Sound 14Fr features a gently curved profile that follows the natural anatomical contour of the urethra. Its 14 French (Fr) diameter makes it suitable for progressive urethral dilation, routine urethral examination, and calibration during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
The OB/GYN 11″ Van Buren Urethral Sound 14Fr is commonly utilized for urethral dilation in cases of urethral narrowing, assessment of urethral patency, calibration of the urethral lumen, and preparation for selected urological or gynecological procedures when clinically indicated. The smooth, rounded tip promotes atraumatic insertion, while the gradual taper helps minimize patient discomfort during instrument advancement.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this urethral sound provides outstanding durability and long-term clinical reliability. Its corrosion-resistant construction withstands repeated sterilization without compromising structural integrity or surface finish. The satin-polished finish minimizes friction during insertion, enhances patient comfort, and simplifies cleaning and maintenance.
The rigid one-piece construction offers excellent stability and precise tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to accurately assess urethral anatomy and resistance during dilation. The ergonomic design ensures a secure grip and balanced handling, allowing controlled instrument manipulation throughout the procedure.
The 14Fr size is commonly incorporated into progressive urethral dilation protocols, enabling clinicians to increase urethral diameter gradually according to procedural requirements and individual patient anatomy. The instrument integrates seamlessly into comprehensive urethral sound sets used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgical centers, and private specialty practices.
