Guyon Urethral Bougies 23 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for use in urologic procedures requiring controlled urethral access, this Guyon-style bougie serves for calibration, gradual dilation of urethral strictures, and as a guide for catheter passage or exchange. The 23 Fr diameter is selected when a larger-caliber tract is required for instrumentation or when up-sizing catheters. It is used in outpatient clinic procedures, operating room settings, and endourology workflows where tactile feedback and precise lumen sizing are needed.

Design & Configuration

The straight Guyon configuration provides a firm, pushable shaft and direct tactile feedback to the operator, aiding in negotiating resistive segments and confirming lumen continuity. The atraumatic tapered tip facilitates atraumatic entry and minimizes mucosal catch during advancement. A smooth, polished surface reduces friction and eases passage under lubrication, while a single-piece construction improves push transmission and reduces the risk of joint failure during use.
