Clinical Application
Clutton urethral bougies in sizes 28 and 32 are intended for urethral calibration, progressive dilation and as a guide for catheter passage in adult urologic procedures. They are used to assess and dilate urethral strictures, verify lumen patency prior to instrumentation, and to assist safe placement or exchange of Foley or other urethral catheters when passage is difficult.
Design & Configuration
The two-size set provides sequential options for graded dilation and calibration. Each instrument features a smooth, tapered tip and a straight working profile to facilitate atraumatic entry and predictable progression through the urethral channel. The straightforward geometry delivers tactile feedback during advancement, allowing the operator to detect resistance from strictures or sphincteric segments and to proceed with controlled dilation.
