Clutton Urethral Bougies 20/24

Clinical Application

Designed for use in urology for urethral calibration and staged dilation, these bougies are used to assess lumen diameter, gently dilate short strictures, and establish or maintain a tract for subsequent catheter or instrument passage. The included 20 Fr and 24 Fr sizes allow stepwise progression during dilation and help match common catheter bore sizes for secure guidance during catheterization and operative procedures.

Design & Configuration

The instruments feature a smoothly tapered, rounded tip to minimize mucosal trauma during insertion. The differing diameters permit controlled, incremental dilation; tactile feedback through the shaft helps the clinician detect resistance from strictures or false passages. The simple, low-profile geometry supports precise manual manipulation in confined anatomy and quick transition between sizes during a procedure.
