Clinical Application
Designed for controlled urethral sounding and dilation, this 11 Fr Guyon bougie is used to establish or maintain a patent urethral lumen, negotiate short strictures, and provide a stable guide for catheter placement during urologic procedures. It is appropriate for diagnostic calibration and for facilitating atraumatic passage of catheters and instruments in operative and clinic settings.
Design & Configuration
The straight, tapered geometry allows smooth, atraumatic entry and progressive dilation of the urethra. A rounded, tapered tip minimizes mucosal catching while providing predictable directional control. The simple, single-piece configuration gives direct tactile feedback to the operator for precise negotiation of resistance and accurate placement as a guide for subsequent catheters or dilators.
