Lister Urethral Bougies 1/4 FG

Clinical Application

Used to assess and maintain urethral patency, negotiate narrow segments, and facilitate passage of catheters or dilators when standard techniques are unsuccessful. Commonly employed in urology clinics, endoscopy suites, and operating rooms for urethral calibration, management of short strictures, and as an aid during catheter exchange or suprapubic tube revisions.

Design & Configuration

The slender, tapered profile and smooth, rounded tip are intended to minimize mucosal trauma during insertion and to atraumatically traverse narrowed or tortuous urethral segments. The balance of controlled stiffness with a slim cross‑section helps the clinician advance the instrument with tactile feedback, improving the ability to locate and dilate strictures gently or to guide a catheter past an obstruction.
