Combining the principles of a mechanical dilator with a precision cutting guide, the Otis-Mauermayer system allows the surgeon to incrementally expand the urethral lumen to a predetermined Charrière (French) size before performing a precise, longitudinal incision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eMeasuring \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"10\"\u003e11-1\/2 inches (29.2 cm)\u003c\/b\u003e in length, this instrument features a sophisticated expanding conical tip and a dedicated channel for the urethrotome blade (Otis knife).
