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.

What causes catheter associated urinary tract infections?
The leading cause of catheter associated urinary tract infections is insertion of a urinary catheter without the use of a urethra gauge.Possible causes of catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI):WRONG SIZE CATHETER:1.) Insertion of A urinary catheter without first obtaining a measurement of the circumference of the urethra.2.) Improper Measurement of urethra prior to insertion of catheter.3.) Improper size catheter inserted into the urethra.4.) A catheter inserted without the use of a urethra gauge.Hygiene:Poor hygiene of perineum area after insertion of urinary catheter.Length of Use of indwelling urinary catheter:Length of time the Indwelling catheter is indwelling exceeds the manufacturer's recommended days of use.Incontinence:Patients that are incontinent of stool and or have loose watery stools are more prone to urinary tract infections.Women & Anatomy:The anatomy of a woman and fecal incontinence/loose watery stool and a low mobility score increases the likelihood of and are bed bound have a higher probability ofAge:The elderly are more likely to acquire CAUTI's.Low mobility score:A person that is more mobile is less likely to acquire a CAUTI.Summary:The person that is most likely to acquire a CAUTI is one whom has the most combined factors listed above.

(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).

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.
