SSND-MD 8-16
Recommended for open bore options
The SSND-MD 8-16 is a heavy-gauge, eight-segment stepped sound, and a step up for users who've worked through our MD 6-14 and are ready for larger volumes. Each segment gradually widens the path for the one after it, giving the tissue time to adjust before the next size.

- Entry tip: 8.0 mm (24 Fr)
- Maximum diameter: 16.0 mm (48 Fr)

Choosing your silicone firmness
Bob recommends #10 (Medium) for the SSND-MD 8-16. Worth noting: a customer who ordered this in our softest option (#00-20) found it compressed and expanded under resistance, making it harder to push through solo — they'd recommend stepping up in firmness for that reason.
Color options
#18 and #30 are available in pure translucent silicone.
#00-20, #00-50, and #10 use a translucent white base and can be mixed with our standard colors.
Please note
This piece is intended for experienced users who have already worked past the 14mm range and are ready to progress toward a 16mm diameter.
Use appropriate lubrication and never force insertion. Stop immediately if you experience pain, bleeding, or significant discomfort. Inspect the sound before each use and do not use it if damaged.
