Guyon Urethral Bougies 12 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used to calibrate and dilate the urethra and to facilitate catheter placement or guidewire passage during urologic procedures. The 12 Fr diameter is commonly selected for light to moderate dilation or when confirming urethral patency in diagnostic and therapeutic settings, including management of short-segment strictures, pre-catheterization assessment, and perioperative urethral calibration.

Design & Configuration

The straight, slender geometry with an atraumatic tapered tip is designed to advance through the urethral lumen with minimal mucosal disruption while preserving tactile feedback. This configuration helps clinicians negotiate slight anatomic curvature without excessive force, improving control during blind insertion and decreasing the risk of false passages. A smooth polished surface reduces friction during passage and facilitates atraumatic exchange with catheters and guidewires.
