Frequently asked questions
Is this instrument suitable for multiple clinical procedures?
Yes, the Sklar Walther Dilator-Catheter is designed with a multi-functional approach. It is primarily used for female urethral dilation, but it is also fully capable of assisting with:

What is the recommended cleaning protocol for this steel device?
While we always recommend following your facility’s specific infection control guidelines for surgical instruments, the chrome-plated steel construction is designed to be durable and compatible with standard institutional sterilization methods used for professional-grade metal surgical tools.
