TUR Set

A TUR Set is a surgical instrument set primarily used for transurethral resection (TUR) procedures, most notably in procedures like Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) or the removal of bladder tumors (TURBT). These procedures are performed endoscopically through the urethra, avoiding the need for external incisions.

Key characteristics and components of a TUR Set often include:

• Y-shaped Design: This design is a key feature, allowing for the connection and use of two irrigation fluid bottles, ensuring a continuous and controlled flow of irrigation fluid during the procedure.
• Material: TUR Sets are typically manufactured from non-toxic, non-irritant, and sterile medical-grade PVC.
• Thumb-operated clamps: These clamps facilitate a quick and smooth changeover of irrigation fluid bottles, which is vital for maintaining a clear surgical field and minimizing interruptions during the procedure.
• Flexible Latex Tubing: The proximal end of the TUR Set is fitted with flexible latex tubing to ensure an easy and secure connection to the endoscope.
• Sterility: TUR Sets are supplied as sterile, single-use devices, individually packed in peelable pouches to maintain aseptic conditions and should be discarded after use.

The primary function of a TUR Set is to enable continuous irrigation and suction during TUR procedures, facilitating optimal visibility and efficient removal of tissue or tumors. It is considered an essential tool in urological procedures.
