Clutton Urethral Bougies 12/16 FG

Clinical Application

These precision urethral bougies are intended for atraumatic calibration and controlled dilation of the urethral lumen. They are used during diagnostic and therapeutic urology procedures to assess luminal diameter, gently dilate short-segment strictures, facilitate passage of urinary catheters and guidewires, and assist in instrumentation during cystoscopy or urethral catheter exchanges. The paired sizes provide immediate upsizing or downsizing without instrument change, helping reduce procedural time and instrumentation exchanges.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended, dual-diameter configuration (12 Fr and 16 Fr) allows clinicians to change caliber quickly while maintaining sterile technique. A smooth, atraumatic rounded tip minimizes mucosal injury during insertion and negotiation of the urethral meatus and strictured segments. The semi-rigid profile provides tactile feedback to the operator so resistance can be assessed during calibration and dilation, while the polished surface reduces friction and eases advancement.
