This shows a Sims Malleable Urethral Sound, a specialized urological instrument used for exploring and dilating the urethra.
Measuring 330mm (13 inches) in length with a 4mm curved tip, the sound features a flexible, malleable shaft that can be shaped to navigate the natural contours of the urethral tract.
Its curved design allows for gentle, controlled insertion, while the graduated markings assist with depth assessment during procedures.
The instrument is equipped with an ergonomic handle for a comfortable and secure grip.
Commonly used in diagnostic and therapeutic urology, the Sims sound helps in evaluating strictures and ensuring patency of the urethral passage.
