Urethral dilation is a procedure to stretch the sides of the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body. Sometimes scar tissue narrows the urethra. This is called urethral stricture. Urethral dilators are medical devices that are used to slowly expand or dilate a urethral stricture. A urethral stricture refers to the narrowing or closure of the urethra due to injury or infection. If untreated, a urethral stricture can severely compromise urinary flow and cause damage to the urinary tract. Urethral dilators help relieve obstruction by gradually stretching and expanding the narrowed urethra. Made of various materials like stainless steel, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), silicone, these come in a set of different sizes to provide gentle and progressive dilation over multiple sessions. Rising cases of urethral strictures, growing healthcare expenditures, and technological advancements in urethral dilator designs are some key factors expected to propel the demand for urethral dilators in the near future. A urethrotomy is a type of urethral dilation. During this procedure, a surgeon passes a pencil-sized lighted tube with a camera at the end (cystoscope) through the urethra to examine it. The cystoscope also contains a small knife (scalpel), which the surgeon will use to cut away scar tissue and widen the urethra.
Increasing incidence of urethral strictures is expected to drive the growth of the global urethral dilators market over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2022, according to data published by Medscape, the annual incidence rate of narrowing of the urethra is estimated to be from 200 to 1200 cases per 100,000 populations in U.S.
