Lister Urethral Bougies 7/10 FG

Clinical Application

Designed to assist urologists and perioperative teams with atraumatic urethral access and dilation. Common clinical uses include probing and assessing urethral strictures, establishing a tract for catheter placement in difficult catheterizations, gentle dilation of narrow segments, and providing a stable introducer over which a Foley or other urethral catheter can be negotiated. Small-caliber sizes are appropriate for pediatric patients, narrow urethral lumens, or initial staged dilation before upsizing.

Design & Configuration

The straight, tapered geometry with a rounded atraumatic tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage while providing predictable dilation. The Lister pattern emphasizes a smooth taper to facilitate entry into tight or angulated segments and provides tactile feedback to the operator for controlled advancement. Offering two small French sizes allows selection based on clinical need — initial passage with the smaller diameter and progressive dilation as indicated.
