Guyon Urethral Bougies 23 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this Guyon-pattern urethral bougie is used to traverse and gently dilate urethral strictures, confirm lumen patency, and facilitate guided placement of urinary catheters or other urethral devices. The 23 Fr size is commonly selected when a larger-caliber lumen is required for device exchange or progressive dilation in endourology and urology clinic procedures.

Design & Configuration

The Guyon curvature follows the natural anterior urethral contour, enabling smoother advancement with reduced mucosal trauma compared with straight instruments. The atraumatic rounded tip permits tactile feedback during passage so clinicians can distinguish resistance from the instrument and proceed with controlled dilation. A single-ended, semi-rigid geometry balances the need for steerability and pushability while minimizing the risk of false passage.
