Clinical Application
Designed to establish and maintain urethral access, this 10 Fr Guyon bougie is used for urethral calibration, gentle progressive dilation and as an introducer or guide for urethral catheter placement. It is applicable in diagnostic assessment of urethral patency and during minor endoscopic or open urologic procedures where a small-diameter, atraumatic sound is required.
Design & Configuration
The Guyon pattern features a fine, tapered profile with a rounded atraumatic tip to minimize mucosal trauma and reduce the risk of creating a false passage during insertion. The 10 Fr caliber provides a small-diameter option appropriate when initial access must be conservative—useful for narrow urethral lumens or as the first step in graded dilation protocols. The straight, smooth shaft facilitates controlled advancement and withdrawal and improves tactile feedback for the operator.
