Clutton Urethral Bougies 22/26

Clinical Application

These instruments are used to establish, assess, and maintain urethral lumen patency during urologic procedures. Common indications include progressive dilatation for urethral strictures, calibration of urethral caliber, and serving as a guide for catheter or instrument passage during diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in clinic, ambulatory surgery centers, and the operating room.

Design & Configuration

The set provides two discrete French sizes (22 and 26) to allow stepwise dilatation or selection to match planned catheter sizes. Each instrument features a slender, tapered profile with a smooth rounded tip to minimize mucosal trauma and to negotiate the urethral lumen with controlled resistance. The firm shaft offers tactile feedback to the operator, aiding in detection of strictures and confirming intraluminal placement.
