Clinical Purpose of OIU (Optical Internal Urethrotomy)
The OIU Set is a specialized endoscopic solution designed for the treatment of urethral strictures through optical internal urethrotomy. It integrates high-definition visualization systems, precision urethrotomy instruments, and essential accessories to enable accurate incision of fibrotic urethral tissue, restoring normal urinary flow. This set ensures minimally invasive treatment, improved patient comfort, and effective clinical outcomes in urethral stricture management.
Evolution of Endoscopic Urethrotomy Technology
Urethral stricture management has evolved from open surgical reconstruction to minimally invasive endoscopic techniques. Traditional approaches involved extensive surgery with longer recovery times.
With the introduction of optical internal urethrotomy, surgeons can now directly visualize and incise strictures using endoscopic instruments. Modern advancements in optics, instrument design, and guidewire-assisted techniques have improved precision, reduced complications, and enhanced procedural success rates, making OIU a preferred first-line treatment in many cases.

Instructions for Use of OIU System
- Set up the Advin HD Camera System and connect it with the LED light source for clear endoscopic visualization.
- Assemble the telescope with optical urethrotomy sheath (21 Fr with half moon) and attach it to the camera system.
- Insert a guide wire through the urethra to safely identify and access the stricture.
- Advance the optical urethrotome (OTIS or sheath system) over the guide wire under direct vision.
- Use the urethrotome bridge to introduce the cold knife for precise incision of the stricture.
- Perform controlled incision at the stricture site to restore urethral patency.
- Ensure adequate opening and smooth passage through the urethra after incision.
- After completion, remove the instrument and place a catheter if required for healing support.
- Clean and sterilize all reusable instruments properly after the procedure.
Clinical Advantages of OIU Technology
- Minimally invasive urethral stricture treatment
