Van Buren Urethral Bougies 34FG

Clinical Application

Designed for urological procedures requiring calibration, dilation, or negotiation of the urethra, this Van Buren bougie is used to dilate strictures, probe the urethral lumen, and facilitate passage of catheters or introducer sheaths. It is commonly employed in outpatient clinic settings, operating rooms, and endourology suites for male urethral workups, preoperative assessment, and intraoperative management of urethral narrowing.

Design & Configuration

The curved, semi‑rigid geometry follows the natural male urethral curvature, improving directional control and reducing the need for excessive manipulation. A rounded, tapered atraumatic tip permits progressive dilation while minimizing mucosal trauma and false passage risk. The single‑piece construction provides consistent tactile feedback so the clinician can sense resistance and identify strictures or obstructions.
