A tube inserted into the bladder after a urethra gauge is used to measure the circumference of the urethra.

Can you use a urethra sound instead of a urethra gauge?
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.
