Bard Urological Followers Set 8-24 Fr w/ Sterilization Case - Used Excellent

Bard Urological Followers Set | 8–24 Fr | Threaded Modular Design | Includes Sterilization Case

The Bard Urological Followers Set is a premium, clinical-standard instrumentation kit designed for the sequential dilation of the male urethra. This set is engineered for use following the placement of a woven or filiform catheter, allowing for the safe, incremental expansion of urethral strictures or the preparation of the canal for endoscopic procedures.

Constructed from high-grade, flexible yet resilient materials, each follower features a threaded distal end. This modular interface allows for secure attachment to filiforms or handle systems, providing the clinician with superior tactile feedback and "line-of-sight" control during the dilation sequence.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Comprehensive 8–24 Fr Sizing: The set provides a complete range of sequential sizes, allowing for a gradual, atraumatic dilation process that minimizes mucosal irritation and reduces the risk of creating "false passages."

• Modular Threaded Security: The precision-threaded tips ensure a rock-solid connection to the leading filiform. This prevents accidental detachment within the bladder or urethra—a critical safety feature during complex stricture management.

• Superior Tactile Feedback: The material composition is calibrated to transmit subtle changes in resistance to the surgeon's hand, allowing for the early detection of scar tissue or anatomical obstructions.

• Advanced Sterilization Case: The included pin-style interior case is specifically designed to protect the integrity of the followers. The silicone or metal pins prevent the rods from shifting or clumping during the high-pressure environment of a steam autoclave, ensuring total steam penetration.

• High-Durability Construction: Unlike disposable alternatives, these Bard followers are designed for repeated clinical use, maintaining their smooth surface finish and tip geometry through rigorous reprocessing cycles.

Applications

• Urethral Stricture Management: Sequential dilation of obstructive scar tissue.

• Pre-Endoscopic Preparation: Expanding the lumen for the passage of cystoscopes or resectoscopes.

• Catheterization Support: Facilitating the placement of large-gauge Foley catheters in difficult anatomical setups.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Pre-owned – Excellent Condition.

• Maintenance: This set has been meticulously inspected for structural integrity. The threaded ends are crisp with no "cross-threading," the follower bodies are smooth with no cracking or pitting, and the sterilization case hinges operate fluidly.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical and urological materials, Primis Medical ensures all specialized instruments are function-tested and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped with the followers secured inside the pin-tray and further wrapped in heavy-duty padded packaging to prevent any bending or impact damage during transit.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
