Clinical Application
Designed for controlled progressive dilation and calibration of the urethra, this straight set of dilating bougies covers a broad range of French sizes (8–30 Fr) to support stepwise management of urethral strictures, pre‑cystoscopic dilation, catheter introduction, and other genitourinary procedures that require precise lumen sizing. The graduated sizing allows clinicians to incrementally dilate tissue while monitoring patient response and guiding subsequent instrumentation.
Design & Configuration
The straight geometry provides direct alignment with the anterior urethra and facilitates tactile feedback for accurate placement. A graduated set spanning 8–30 Fr enables controlled, incremental upsizing during dilation sessions. Smooth, tapered tips minimize focal pressure at the leading edge during insertion and help reduce mucosal trauma. Rigid construction transmits controlled force for predictable dilation while allowing the operator to sense resistance and passage.
Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical‑grade stainless steel with a finely polished surface finish to reduce tissue adhesion and ease cleaning. The robust, non‑flexing profile provides consistent tactile feedback during dilation. Designed for reusable workflows and compatible with standard hospital reprocessing protocols, including autoclave sterilization.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
