Guyon Urethral Bougies 12 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this 12 Fr instrument is used to assess lumen patency, negotiate short strictures, and facilitate passage of catheters or guidewires during urologic procedures. It provides a tactile means to confirm urethral size and continuity prior to definitive interventions such as internal urethrotomy, dilation series, or catheter placement.

Design & Configuration

The Guyon pattern features a smoothly tapered profile terminating in a rounded atraumatic tip to minimize mucosal trauma during insertion. The graduated taper allows gentle dilation and progressive sizing while providing tactile feedback to the operator. The simple single-ended configuration favors ease of handling and rapid insertion/removal in the procedural field.
