A Screw Dilator is a type of progressive urethral dilator that uses a screw-like threading mechanism to gradually and precisely dilate tight urethral strictures.
Features:
Threaded (screw-type) shaft for slow, controlled expansion
Made from stainless steel
Offers mechanical advantage with minimal trauma
Often used with guidance from a filiform
Uses:
Gradual dilation of tight urethral strictures, especially where standard dilators may not pass
Used in urology for difficult or complex urethral stricture cases
Helps avoid the need for immediate surgery
A Nottingham Dilator is a specialized urethral dilator designed for gradual dilation of urethral strictures, particularly in males.
Features:
Curved, smooth design to follow the natural male urethral anatomy
Made of stainless steel
Comes in graduated sizes for stepwise dilation
Solid, sturdy construction for controlled use
Uses:
Treats urethral strictures
Used during urethral calibration or dilation procedures
Helps restore normal urine flow and prevent recurrence of narrowing
A Meatal Dilator is a small, smooth instrument used to widen the urethral meatus (the external opening of the urethra), typically in cases of meatal stenosis.
Features:
Tapered, rounded tip for gentle dilation
Made from stainless steel or plastic
Available in various sizes for gradual dilation
Smooth surface to reduce patient discomfort
Uses:
Treats meatal stenosis (narrowing of urethral opening)
Helps improve urine flow and relieve symptoms like straining or spraying
Can be used in adults and children under medical guidance
A Filiform Urethral Dilator is a slender, flexible instrument used to gently dilate urethral strictures or to navigate a narrowed urethra.
Features:
Thin, flexible design for navigating tight strictures
Often used with followers (bougies) for gradual dilation
Made of Teflon, plastic, or stainless steel
Smooth surface to reduce trauma during insertion
Uses:
Treats urethral strictures by gently opening the narrowed passage
Used as a first step in difficult catheterizations
Common in urology and reconstructive procedures
A Fascial Dilator Set is a set of progressively sized dilators used to gradually widen the tissue tract (especially fascia) during procedures like nephrostomy or PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy).
Features:
Multiple dilators of increasing diameter
Made from durable, medical-grade plastic or metal
Tapered tips for smooth, controlled insertion
Compatible with guide wires for precise access
Reusable or disposable types available
Uses:
Dilates the fascia and soft tissue to allow safe instrument access
Commonly used in urology, interventional radiology, and nephrostomy procedures
Prepares the tract for insertion of a nephroscope or access sheath
A Nephrostomy Balloon Dilator is a medical device used to dilate the nephrostomy tract (the channel from the skin to the kidney) during percutaneous renal procedures like PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy).
Features:
High-pressure inflatable balloon for controlled dilation
Radiopaque markers for fluoroscopic guidance
Compatible with guide wires and sheaths
Sterile and disposable
Uses:
Enlarges the tract to allow insertion of nephroscopes or surgical instruments
Commonly used in PCNL to access kidney stones
Ensures safe and accurate dilation with minimal trauma
A Ureteral Balloon Dilator is a medical device used to dilate (widen) strictures or narrowed areas of the ureter during urological procedures.
Features:
Inflatable balloon that expands to a specific diameter
Radiopaque markers for accurate positioning under fluoroscopy
High-pressure capability for effective dilation
Available in various balloon sizes and lengths
Uses:
Treats ureteral strictures or narrowing
Prepares the ureter for stent placement or ureteroscope passage
Used during endourological procedures like stone removal or RIRS”
A Ureteral Access Sheath is a flexible tube inserted into the ureter during endoscopic urological procedures to facilitate the safe, repeated passage of instruments like ureteroscopes.
Features:
Flexible and kink-resistant sheath
Hydrophilic coating for smooth insertion
Radiopaque markers for precise placement
Available in various lengths and diameters
Uses:
Assists in stone removal and ureteroscopy
Reduces trauma from repeated scope insertions
Improves visual access and irrigation flow during procedures
A Urometer is a medical device used to measure and collect urine output, typically during procedures like urinary catheterization, or in patients who are critically ill and require precise urine monitoring.
Features:
Graduated scale for accurate urine volume measurement
Usually made of transparent plastic for easy viewing
Drainage tubing and connection to a catheter or urinary catheter system
Often includes a bag or container for urine collection
Sterile and disposable versions available for infection control
Use:
Used to measure urine output in hospitalized or post-operative patients
Commonly used in intensive care units (ICU), post-surgery recovery, or kidney-related monitoring
Helps assess kidney function and fluid balance in patients with conditions like renal failure or dehydration
A Male Circumcision Kit is a sterile, pre-packed set of surgical instruments and disposables designed specifically for performing male circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis.
Features:
Typically includes:
Scalpel or scissors
Artery forceps
Needle holder and sutures
Gauze, drapes, and gloves
Antiseptic solution and dressing materials
Comes in disposable or reusable formats
Ensures sterility and procedural efficiency
Available in sizes for infants, children, and adults
Uses:
Used for medical or religious circumcision procedures
Ensures a safe, sterile, and complete minor surgical setup
Helps reduce surgical preparation time and infection risk
