Lister Urethral Bougies 5/8 FG

Clinical Application

Designed for urological use to aid atraumatic passage of catheters and to perform urethral calibration and gradual dilation. Commonly employed when initial catheterization is difficult, when assessing the location and caliber of urethral strictures, and as an adjunct during cystoscopy, urethral surgery, or endoscopic procedures that require controlled access.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's straight, semi‑rigid geometry provides controlled advancement through the urethra while minimizing buckling. A smoothly tapered, rounded tip reduces mucosal trauma and facilitates negotiation of narrow segments. The polished surface lowers friction during insertion and withdrawal, allowing tactile feedback for the operator to detect strictures or resistance.
