?:definition
  • Stylets designed for use in the lumen of catheters intended to pass through the urethra and into the urinary bladder (i.e., urethral catheters). These stylets typically are very thin metallic wires or flexible rods that make the catheter stiff enough to move along the urethra; usually once the catheter is introduced into the bladder the metal stylet is removed so only the hollow catheter remains. Urethral stylets are only used in male urethras. A dilator or stent may be placed over the stylet to treat urethral strictures.
