Clutton Urethral Bougies 6/10 FG

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic urethral calibration and dilation, this instrument facilitates assessment and management of urethral strictures, guidance for catheter placement, and preparatory dilation prior to endoscopic procedures. Its atraumatic tip and controlled stiffness help minimize mucosal trauma while allowing reliable passage through narrowed segments.

Design & Configuration

The Clutton pattern uses a smooth, tapered profile terminating in a rounded atraumatic tip to reduce the risk of false passages and mucosal injury during insertion. The single-piece geometry provides predictable flex and tactile feedback, enabling the clinician to feel resistance points and negotiate strictures safely. The specified 6/10 FG sizing supports fine calibration where small-diameter dilation or catheter guidance is required.
