Description
A meatal dilator is used to widen the opening of the urethra, typically in the case of a narrowed or constricted opening (called meatal stenosis) caused by scarring or injury. It may also be used to prepare the urethra for certain procedures or surgeries.
It is single-use only (one-time use), and it is supplied in sterilized ethylene oxide gas in peel-opened packages.

Meatal dilators specifically target the urethral meatus (the opening at the tip of the penis) and are used primarily for meatal stenosis. These devices are designed to treat narrowing at the very end of the urethra and typically only need to be inserted 2-3 centimeters.
A meatal dilator functions as a type of urethral dilator, but it is specifically designed for the urethral opening.
