Van Buren Urethral Bougies 32FG

Clinical Application

Provides controlled urethral dilation and calibration for management of urethral strictures, preparation for endoscopic procedures, and facilitation of difficult catheter placement. Commonly used by urologists in the operating room, procedure suites, and ambulatory care settings. The 32FG size is selected when larger-caliber dilation or confirmation of wide urethral patency is required.

Design & Configuration

A slightly curved, single-piece shaft with a smoothly tapered, atraumatic conical tip reduces the risk of mucosal trauma during passage. The polished surface minimizes friction, while the firm shaft provides tactile feedback to help the operator negotiate strictures and confirm luminal position. The curvature is designed to follow the natural course of the male urethra, improving ease of advancement and directional control.
