Clinical Application
Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this Guyon-style bougie is used to negotiate urethral strictures, assist over-the-wire catheter placement, and assess luminal patency during urologic procedures. The 10 Fr diameter provides a small-caliber option for initial dilation, pediatric applications, or precise sizing prior to upsizing to larger catheters or dilators.
Design & Configuration
The malleable, semi-rigid shaft balances flexibility and pushability to traverse urethral curvature while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. An atraumatic, rounded tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage and reduces the risk of false passage. The Guyon configuration is optimized for controlled, incremental dilation and precise guidance of urinary catheters in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
