Clinical Application
Guyon-pattern urethral bougies sized at 28 Fr are used by urologists and surgical teams for progressive urethral dilation, lumen calibration, and to facilitate passage of urinary catheters or instruments across narrowed or resistant segments. Typical use settings include urology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and operating rooms for management of urethral strictures, pre-catheter dilation, or intraoperative calibration.
Design & Configuration
The Guyon design features a smooth, tapered shaft and an atraumatic rounded tip to permit controlled, graduated dilation while minimizing mucosal injury and patient discomfort. The uniform taper provides predictable tactile feedback during advancement, aiding the clinician in identifying strictures or points of resistance. The 28 Fr diameter represents a larger-caliber dilator for cases where a wider lumen is required or when stepping up dilation size.

Material & Construction
Constructed from polished stainless steel to provide a smooth surface that reduces friction against urethral mucosa and resists corrosion during repeated use. The solid metal shaft and rounded tip are designed for durability and consistent tactile response. Reusable construction is compatible with standard decontamination and sterilization workflows used in surgical environments.
