Children Cystoscopy Sheath And Pediatric Cystoscope Sheath

Children's and pediatric cystoscopy sheaths are specialized medical instruments used to provide a protective and stable channel for the insertion of a pediatric cystoscope during urological procedures in children. They are available from various manufacturers and come in a range of sizes, typically measured in French (Fr.) units

• Materials: They are typically made from high-grade, biocompatible medical materials to ensure smooth insertion and minimize trauma to delicate tissue.
• Design: The sheaths are designed to provide a secure and compatible channel for the cystoscope while maintaining a sealed environment for effective irrigation and visibility. They often include obturators for initial insertion.
• Channels: Many models feature one or more channels for irrigation (fluid management) and the passage of additional instruments, such as grasping or biopsy forceps.
• Sterilization: Most pediatric sheaths are reusable and autoclavable (e.g., at 134°C / 273°F) for repeated use in clinical settings.
• Sizing: Diameters vary depending on the patient's age (from neonates to adolescents) and the procedure type. Common sizes include 7 Fr., 9 Fr., 11 Fr., 13 Fr., and 14 Fr
