Cystoscopy Obturator

• This is the sheath that provides the passage way
  through the urethra into the bladder. The scope
  is inserted through the lumen and small diameter
  instruments can be inserted with it. Saline or
  water is attached at the inflow port on the side
  of the obturator and a suction tubing may be
  attached to the out flow port to run fluid into a
  bucket. Category is endo.

3
Cystoscope

• This 4 mm scope belongs to the endo category.
  They come in 0, 30, 90 and 120 degree angled
  lenses. They are used to examine the bladder and
  the surgeon will switch to different angled
  scopes to facilitate his view of the entire
  bladder wall.

4
Operative Cystoscope

• This endo scope is used like the standard
  cystoscope except it has an operative tip. The
  dials by the lens move the lever at the distal
  end of the scope to help the surgeon introduce
  instruments into the tiny ureteral openings.

5
Cutting Loop with a Round Wire

• To cut and cauterize growths in the bladder or
  prostate.

6
Foley Catheter and Down Drain

• This catheter is inserted into the bladder
  through the urethra when long term drainage is
  required. After insertion water is injected into
  the balloon port and a balloon is expanded 1
  from the end of the catheter. The balloon keeps
  the catheter in the bladder. The down drain is a
  bag that collects the drained urine. It is
  graduated to allow tracking of urinary output.
  During long surgical procedures this is important
  information for the anesthesiologist. The urine
  may also be monitored for cloudiness or the
  presence of blood.

7
Red Rubber Catheter

• This catheter is used to drain the bladder when
  long term drainage is not needed. It is most
  frequently used during preps.

8
Single Spike Cysto Tubing

• This tubing is inserted, by the circulator, at
  the spike end into a bag or bottle of fluid that
  is hung from an IV pole. The silastic end is
  connected to the inflow connector on the
  obturator and allows the bladder to be distended
  during the procedure. For longer procedures 2 or
  4 spike tubing may be used.

9
Stone Basket

• This basket is inserted into the ureter for stone
  extractions. The surgeon directs the basket
  around the stone while the tech is charged with
  opening and closing the basket. Opening and
  closing must be done slowly and gently to avoid
  causing the stone to float out of the grip of the
  basket.

10
Van Buren Urethral Sounds

• These dilators are used to dilate the urethra.
  They may be used in males or females. They are
  inserted and removed stepwise from smallest to
  largest, up to the size of the operative
  instrument to be used. Miscellaneous category.

11
Whistle Tip Ureteral Catheter

• This catheter is very narrow in diameter for
  introduction into the ureter. It can reach all
  the way into the kidney.

12
Ellik Evacuator

• Used to irrigate the bladder and prostate. The
  evacuator is turned on its side to catch tissue
  that comes out and the irrigation fluid can float
  to the top to be pushed out.
