Clinical Application
Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this 29 Fr Guyon-style bougie is used to assess lumen patency, dilate short urethral strictures, and facilitate the passage of catheters or instruments during urologic procedures. Its 29 Fr diameter corresponds to a large-caliber sizing commonly employed in male urethral interventions and in situations where up-sizing is required after serial dilation.
Design & Configuration
The Guyon pattern features a single, tapered shaft terminating in an atraumatic, rounded tip. The tapered profile allows gradual dilation while minimizing mucosal trauma; the rounded tip aids atraumatic negotiation of strictured segments and the anterior urethral curvature. The balance between stiffness and flexibility provides tactile feedback to the operator for controlled advancement and withdrawal.
