Clinical Application
Designed for controlled urethral calibration and gentle dilation during diagnostic and therapeutic urology procedures. Common uses include passage of urethral strictures, preoperative assessment of urethral caliber, and facilitation of catheter or instrument exchange in both outpatient and operative settings. The 22 French size corresponds to a specific lumen diameter used routinely for adult male urethral work and select female applications where that caliber is indicated.
Design & Configuration
The Guyon pattern provides a single, calibrated dilator profile that gives predictable lumen sizing and reliable tactile feedback during insertion. A smooth, polished surface and tapered profile reduce friction and help minimize mucosal trauma while permitting gradual dilation. The straightforward geometry simplifies handling for both blind and visually guided passages, aiding safe negotiation of strictured segments and easing subsequent catheter placement.
