Sklar Dittel Urethral Sound, Straight 10 French
An 11-1/2 inch straight urethral sound sized 10 French, used by urologists to gently dilate and examine the urethra during urologic procedures.
The Sklar Dittel Urethral Sound is a urologic instrument measuring 11-1/2 inches, with a straight profile and a 10 French diameter, used to gently dilate and assess the urethra during urologic procedures. Urethral sounds of this type are passed along the urethra to check for strictures, gradually dilate narrowed segments, or measure urethral calibre before other instrumentation such as catheterisation or cystoscopy.
Urologists use sounds like this one in the diagnosis and treatment of urethral stricture disease, as well as in routine urologic assessment where urethral patency needs to be confirmed. This listing spans a very wide range of 41 variants, covering multiple lengths, French diameters and curvatures, reflecting the graduated dilation technique commonly used in urology where a series of gradually increasing sizes is passed in sequence.
Urology departments and hospitals performing urethral dilation or stricture management would typically stock a full graduated set of sounds across the available sizes to support this stepwise clinical approach.
