Resectoscope Set - Stainless Steel, 18.5fr Size, Silver Color | Single Use, Sterilized, Polished Finish, Minimally Invasive For Turp

A 18.5fr resectoscope set is primarily used for performing a minimally invasive surgical procedure called Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), specifically designed to remove overgrown prostate tissue that causes urinary obstruction, by utilizing a small diameter instrument that can be inserted through the urethra to access and resect the prostate tissue piece by piece; the "18.5fr" refers to the French catheter size, indicating the relatively small diameter of the instrument, allowing for less trauma to the urethra during the procedure.
Key points about a 18.5fr resectoscope set:
Small size:
The 18.5fr diameter is considered smaller than standard resectoscopes, making it suitable for patients with narrow urethras or smaller prostate glands.
Minimally invasive:
Due to its smaller size, it can cause less trauma to the urethra during insertion and manipulation, leading to potentially faster recovery times and reduced complications.
Used for TURP:
The primary application is for transurethral resection of the prostate, where the resectoscope is used to remove tissue from the prostate gland that is causing urinary obstruction.
