Guyon Urethral Bougies 19 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic passage through the male or female urethra, this bougie is used to calibrate urethral lumen diameter, gently dilate short segment strictures, and act as a guide for catheter placement or exchange. It is useful in office-based urology procedures, operating room urethral assessments, and prior to instrumentation such as cystoscopy when controlled dilation is required. The 19 Fr size corresponds to a commonly used adult caliber for catheter transition or staged dilatation protocols.

Design & Configuration

The single-shaft, tapered geometry concentrates progressive dilation forces at the tip while the smooth, rounded tip reduces mucosal trauma during passage. A polished surface minimizes friction and eases insertion and withdrawal, improving tactile feedback for the operator when negotiating strictures or narrowing. The simple handle and straight shaft configuration provide direct control and predictable directional response important for safe urethral instrumentation.
