Clutton Urethral Bougies 24/28

Clinical Application

Used for controlled urethral dilation and bougienage in urology practices and surgical suites, these instruments are intended to facilitate passage of catheters, assess the caliber and location of urethral strictures, and mechanically dilate narrowed segments. The 24 and 28 French calibers provide options for moderate to larger-caliber dilation during procedures such as stricture management, catheter exchanges, or preparatory dilation prior to endoscopic interventions. They are suitable for use under local, regional, or general anesthesia depending on the clinical setting and patient tolerance.

Design & Configuration

The semi-rigid shaft with a smoothly tapered, atraumatic rounded tip enables controlled, low-friction insertion while minimizing mucosal trauma. A gently contoured profile helps the instrument follow the natural urethral curvature, improving directional control and reducing the need for excessive force. The smooth, polished surface assists in lubricant distribution and passage through the urethra during serial dilation maneuvers.
