Lister Urethral Bougies 14/17 FG

Clinical Application

Used to calibrate and gently dilate the urethra and to facilitate catheter placement in urologic procedures. The two-caliber design supports stepwise dilation and provides an immediate alternate size when encountering resistance, which is useful during urethral stricture assessment, pre-cystoscopy dilation, and placement of indwelling or intermittent catheters when access is difficult.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration pairs two commonly used French sizes on a single instrument, reducing tray changes and streamlining workflow. A smooth, tapered, atraumatic rounded tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage. The shaft geometry provides sufficient column strength to transmit controlled advancement while retaining enough flexibility to negotiate the natural urethral curvature, improving tactile feedback for the clinician when negotiating strictures or tight segments.
