Guyon Urethral Bougies 16 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed to establish, dilate, and calibrate the urethral lumen, this instrument is used by urologists and surgical teams for management of urethral strictures, facilitation of catheter placement, and preparatory dilation prior to endoscopic procedures. The 16 Fr caliber provides an intermediate adult-sized diameter commonly used for calibration and as a step in graduated dilation protocols.

Design & Configuration

The tapered profile with a smooth, atraumatic rounded distal tip permits gradual passage through the urethra while minimizing mucosal trauma and patient discomfort. A firm, polished shaft transmits tactile feedback to the operator so resistance and focal narrowing can be detected during passage. The simple, single-piece geometry supports controlled dilation and reliable guidance of catheters or wires.
