Guyon Urethral Bougies 13 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for urologic use, this Guyon-pattern urethral bougie in 13 Fr is used to calibrate and dilate the urethra, to negotiate narrowed segments or strictures, and to act as a guide for placement or exchange of urinary catheters. It is applied in clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and operating rooms during diagnostic evaluation, preoperative dilation, or catheterization when passage is difficult or when progressive dilation is required.

Design & Configuration

The Guyon pattern combines a slender, flexible shaft with a tapered, atraumatic tip to permit controlled negotiation of the urethral lumen while minimizing mucosal trauma. The tapered geometry facilitates gradual dilation and controlled passage through narrowed segments; shaft flexibility allows the instrument to follow the natural urethral curvature without transmitting excessive force. A smooth, rounded tip helps reduce resistance at the urethral meatus and strictured areas, improving patient comfort and procedural control.
