Guyon Urethral Bougies 14 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used to assess and gently dilate the urethral lumen, the instrument provides tactile feedback when traversing strictures or false passages and serves as a guide for atraumatic catheter placement. Common indications include urethral calibration prior to endoscopic procedures, staged dilation of urethral strictures, and facilitating the insertion of indwelling or temporary catheters when standard catheters cannot pass.

Design & Configuration

The slender, tapered profile with a smooth rounded tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage. The combination of a semi‑flexible shaft and a controlled proximal grip allows the operator to negotiate natural urethral curvature while maintaining sufficient column strength to transmit gentle advancement. The atraumatic finish reduces friction and the risk of urethral abrasion, improving patient comfort and procedural control.
