Guyon Urethral Bougies 24 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for urological procedures requiring atraumatic traversal or dilation of the urethra, this instrument is used by surgeons and clinical staff to calibrate urethral caliber, assess and gently dilate urethral strictures, and to facilitate catheter passage when standard catheterization is difficult. Common clinical settings include outpatient urology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers and operating rooms where controlled, graduated dilation or guidewire-free catheter placement is indicated. Use with appropriate lubrication, sterile technique and under direct visualization or as directed by the operating surgeon.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a single-rod construction terminating in a tapered, rounded atraumatic tip to minimize mucosal trauma during insertion. The smooth shaft provides predictable glide and tactile feedback so the clinician can sense resistance from strictures or anatomical turns. The 24 French diameter provides a clinically useful caliber for intermediate dilation or for creating a passage suitable for larger-caliber catheter exchanges. The straightforward geometry supports controlled advancement, rotation, and withdrawal during serial dilation or calibration procedures.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Urethral bougie (Guyon pattern)
• Size: 24 Fr
• Tip: Tapered, rounded atraumatic tip for mucosal protection
• Primary uses: Urethral calibration, gentle dilation, catheter facilitation, stricture assessment
• Construction: Smooth shaft to improve glide and tactile feedback

Material & Construction

Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a polished surface finish to reduce friction and minimize tissue adherence. The metal construction balances shaft stiffness for controlled manipulation with sufficient smoothness to reduce mucosal trauma. The instrument is intended for reusable clinical use and is compatible with standard reprocessing workflows.
