Lister Urethral Bougies 13/16 FG

Clinical Application

Used to dilate and calibrate the urethral lumen and to facilitate atraumatic passage of catheters or other instruments across strictures or narrow segments. Commonly employed in urology during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to establish and maintain urethral access, assist with catheter exchanges, and help negotiate stenotic segments prior to definitive intervention.

Design & Configuration

The straight, single-shaft geometry with a tapered, atraumatic tip minimizes mucosal trauma while enabling controlled incremental dilation. A smooth polished shaft reduces friction during advancement and withdrawal, helping clinicians feel resistance changes that indicate strictures or false passages. The Lister pattern is familiar to urology teams, providing predictable handling and tactile feedback during delicate urethral maneuvers.
