Van-Buren urethral sound 11 curved 16 French

Controlled Reach for Urethral Dilation

The Van-Buren urethral sound is a curved instrument used to support urethral dilation and assessment during urologic procedures. Its 11-inch overall length provides extended reach for professional handling, while the curved shape follows the intended instrument profile for controlled positioning. The 16 French size identifies the instrument’s designated diameter within the French sizing system, helping professionals select it according to procedural requirements. Designed for deliberate, hands-on use, this sound supports a focused workflow where instrument shape, length, and size are important considerations. Use should follow established clinical technique and facility protocols.
