Product Description
The OB/GYN 11″ Van Buren Urethral Sound 32FR is a premium-quality urological instrument meticulously designed for urethral dilation and exploration procedures. Measuring 11 inches in length, this sound features a distinctively curved shaft with a polished, rounded tip to facilitate smooth insertion through the male urethra and into the bladder. Its anatomical curve follows the natural urethral pathway, ensuring both efficiency and patient comfort during diagnostic or therapeutic interventions.
Crafted from high-grade surgical stainless steel (AISI 420 or 316L), the instrument provides excellent resistance against corrosion, repeated sterilization, and wear from continuous clinical use. The smooth, mirror-polished surface minimizes friction and reduces the risk of mucosal trauma, which is critical in sensitive urological applications. Each sound is precisely calibrated to 32 French (10.7mm diameter), offering a reliable gauge for gradual urethral dilation or stricture management.
This instrument is commonly used in urology and gynecology departments for procedures such as urethral stricture dilation, urethral calibration, and bladder access assessment. The Van Buren Sound’s balance of rigidity and curve allows clinicians superior control, ensuring accurate placement with minimal discomfort. The ergonomic handle ensures a firm grip and tactile feedback, providing surgeons enhanced maneuverability even under delicate conditions.
The Van Buren Urethral Sound is part of a comprehensive series available in multiple diameters (8FR–32FR), allowing sequential dilation when used in a set. Its surgical precision and smooth finish make it a preferred choice in both hospital and clinical settings. Compatible with all standard sterilization methods including autoclave and chemical disinfection, this instrument is reusable and built to maintain performance for years.
