Clinical Application
Designed for fine urethral calibration and atraumatic passage through narrow lumina, the small-diameter Lister bougies are used to assess and gently dilate strictures, assist in difficult catheterizations, and guide microcatheters or introducers. The 1–3 FG range is intended for very small or delicate urethral passages where minimal profile and tactile feedback are required, including microsurgical urology and situations requiring progressive up-sizing.
Design & Configuration
The tapered, rounded tip reduces mucosal trauma during introduction while the flexible shaft follows the natural curvature of the urethra to minimize false passages. Graduated diameters permit stepwise dilation and controlled calibration; the low-profile design provides precise tactile feedback to the operator for safe negotiation of tight segments. The set format allows selection of the smallest effective diameter to limit unnecessary stretching.
Instrument Specifications
- Sizes: 1 FG, 2 FG, 3 FG
- Configuration: flexible, tapered dilator
- Tip: rounded atraumatic taper for gentle passage
- Intended use: urethral calibration, gentle dilation, catheter guidance
- Reusable: designed for repeated clinical use with appropriate sterilization
Material & Construction
Constructed for repeated clinical use with a smooth, low-friction surface finish to reduce mucosal irritation during passage. The atraumatic, rounded tip geometry and flexible profile prioritize patient safety and controlled manipulation. Instruments should be processed according to facility sterilization protocols between uses.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
