Otis Urethrotome

Product Description

The Otis urethrotome is a surgical instrument used primarily in urology for the treatment of urethral strictures. Here are its main applications:

Key Uses

1. Urethral Stricture Treatment:

   • The primary purpose of the Otis urethrotome is to incise and widen narrowed segments of the urethra. This helps improve urinary flow and relieve symptoms associated with strictures.

2. Minimally Invasive Procedure:

   • The urethrotome is typically used during a minimally invasive procedure called urethrotomy, where the stricture is accessed via the urethra rather than through an external incision.

3. Optical Guidance:

   • Some models feature optical ports that allow for visualization during the procedure, helping the surgeon accurately target the area of stricture.

Advantages

• Precision: Allows for controlled incisions, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
• Quick Recovery: Being minimally invasive, it often leads to shorter recovery times compared to more extensive surgical approaches.
• Effective Relief: Provides effective relief from urinary obstruction caused by strictures.

Overall, the Otis urethrotome is an essential tool in urology for treating urethral strictures, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
