Lister Urethral Bougies 11/14 FG

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled urethral calibration and dilation, this Lister-pattern bougie is used to assess urethral patency, negotiate short strictures, and serve as a guide for catheter or instrument placement. It is commonly used in outpatient urology, procedural suites, and operating rooms for tasks such as pre-cystoscopy calibration, catheter exchange over a guide, and evaluation of suspected narrowing.

Design & Configuration

The straight, tapered probe geometry facilitates gentle, controlled advancement through the urethral lumen. A smooth, rounded atraumatic tip minimizes mucosal trauma during introduction and negotiation of tight segments. The single-ended, slim profile allows the clinician to feel changes in resistance, enabling stepwise dilation and safe progression from smaller to larger calibers when required.
