Clinical Application
Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this 28 Fr Guyon bougie is used by urologists and trained clinicians to negotiate urethral strictures, confirm lumen caliber, and facilitate passage of urethral catheters or endoscopic instruments. Its graduated, smooth profile supports atraumatic advancement under direct vision or tactile guidance during office procedures, cystoscopy-assisted dilation, and perioperative urethral management.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's single-piece, tapered geometry provides a smooth transition from a fine leading tip to the target diameter, minimizing mucosal catch and reducing resistance during passage. A highly polished surface reduces friction and improves tactile feedback, allowing the operator to detect changes in lumen contour and stricture resistance. The 28 Fr sizing identifies this as a larger-caliber bougie suitable for definitive calibration or for use when upsizing catheter lumen is required.
