Surgical knives designed to cut the anatomical structures of the urinary tract including the bladder. These devices usually consist of manual handheld instruments that usually have a straight handle and a long narrow blade with a sharp cutting edge at the distal end. Urinary tract knives are frequently appropriate for use through the working channels of endoscopes. Urinary tract surgery knives are used in a variety of endoscopic minimal access surgical procedures for both the lower and upper urinary tract. Dedicated urinary tract knives used for percutaneous incision of the ureters are also available.
