ABSTRACT
A urethra gauge™ for measuring an inner size of a urinary tract. The gauge
permits a clinician to measure the size of the urethral lumen (proximal to an
outer orifice of the urethra) before a catheterization is performed. Selecting a
properly-sized catheter for insertion into a patient by measuring the size of
the urethral lumen before performing a catheterization is believed to reduce:
(1) catheter-associated-urinary-tract
infections; (2) urethral injuries due to
inserting a catheter that is too large for the urethra; and/or (3) leakage
associated with catheters that are too small for a particular patient.
A gauge for determining an internal size of a urethra, comprising: a rod having
a distal-end point and a proximal-end point, the rod having an outer-peripheral
surface with at least a portion having progressively increasing cross-sectional
areas extending from the distal-end point to the proximal-end point; wherein the
cross-sectional area of the outer-surface of the rod at the distal-end point
corresponds to a first-potential size for the internal size of a urethra; wherein
the cross-sectional area of the outer-surface of the rod at a proximal-end point
corresponds to a second-potential size for the internal size of a urethra larger
than the first-potential size; and wherein between the distal-end point and the
proximal-end point, are an array of points located on the outer-peripheral
surface of the rod with indicia which correspond to a plurality of potential
sizes for the internal circumference of a urethra larger than the
first-potential size, but less than the second-potential size.
