- The act of measuring the circumference of the urethra with a urethra gauge is called urethra gauging, an assessment performed by a health-care provider.
- The act of dilating the size of the urethra with a urethra sound is called urethra sounding, an intervention performed by a health-care provider.
Urethra sounds are used to dilate the size of the urethra, usually performed by a urology specialist (urologist). This process of urethra sounding is performed on patients with urethra strictures as an intervention. This process of dilating the urethra differs from the measurement process in that the process of urethra sounding is an intervention. The process of urethra gauging is an assessment. Urethra gauges are used by doctors, nurses, and physician assistants to measure the circumference of the urethra prior to insertion of a urinary catheter, indwelling urinary catheter/Foley catheter. However, patients that undergo urinary catheterization without first the use of a urethra gauge are more likely to require the services of a urologist to circumvent further complications of improper urinary catheterization.

(Registered Nurse). Mr. Daniel David Ryan discovered a method to measure the circumference of the urethra prior to insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter, also known as a Foley catheter. The Urethra Gauge is proven to reduce/prevent catheter associated urinary tract infections (C.A.U.T.I.). Daniel D. Ryan, R.N. is the owner of the company that distributes urethra gauges known as, Urethra Gauge Inc. and also the owner of the company website, (www.urethragauge.com). Mr. Daniel David Ryan, R.N. developed this product and others Health related products for distribution by Foley Catheter Sales/Supply Companies and Medical device suppliers of indwelling urinary catheters, urethra gauges, catheter bags, catheter leg straps, and other medical supplies that are ordered by the hospitals. More often than not, The WOCN (wound, ostomy, continence nurse) is the hospital representative who orders these specialty products.Distribution of the Invention:"The Urethra Gauge"The urethra gauge is sold by medical device sales representatives. Major medical device sales companies carry this device to be used in the Emergency Department setting in a hospital. Also floor stocked on most units of the hospital as needed for insertion and re-insertion of indwelling urinary catheters. Product requests can be faxed, phoned, or emailed.Use of Invention, HOSPITAL Setting:"The Urethra Gauge"This is a floor stocked item. The flexible device can be ordered as a disposable measurement device or a re-usable, sterilizable device depending on the hospitals needs. Most Family Physicians carry this device to measure the circumference of the urethra for the elderly population. The likelihood of needing a Foley Catheter in a given year increases by 8% per year after age 50.Use of Invention, UROLOGY Setting:"The Urethra Gauge"ALL board certified urologyst use this device to ascertain the size of the urethra prior to insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter, the size is documented in the chart and made part of the permanent medical record of the patient. Most insurance companies require this measurement for reimbursement for services "insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter".Inventors Sources of Wealth:Although the inventor was raised in a wealthy Irish-Catholic family, he is a self-made multi-millionaire.

Why do you say an x instead of a x?
The use of "an" before a word starting with "x" is incorrect because the sound of "x" is a consonant sound. "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound. Therefore, it should be "a x" instead of "an x."
