A TURP Visual Obturator is a urological instrument used during TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) procedures. It is specifically designed to help insert the resectoscope sheath into the bladder under direct vision using a telescope (endoscope). This prevents injury to the urethra and bladder during initial instrument placement.
