Urethral sounds are hand‑held surgical instruments used to explore and measure the urethra. They are slender, cylindrical tools that may be solid or hollow and feature length graduations on the tip to aid precise assessment. Available in various sizes and flexibilities, they help clinicians evaluate urethral patency and diagnose strictures or other abnormalities.
These devices are supplied as reusable instruments made from metal or plastic, requiring proper cleaning and sterilization between uses. Regulation typically treats them as non‑implantable medical devices, with classification and compliance requirements defined by the applicable jurisdiction's medical device rules.
