Guyon Urethral Bougies 22 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used to dilate the urethra and to negotiate short or tight urethral strictures, this instrument facilitates atraumatic passage of catheters and endoscopic devices in urology procedures. It is commonly used during difficult catheterizations, pre-dilation prior to cystoscopy or urethrotomy, and as a tactile guide to confirm lumen patency.

Design & Configuration

The semi-rigid shaft provides sufficient stiffness to transmit tactile feedback while maintaining controlled flexibility to follow urethral curvature. The tapered, atraumatic tip is shaped to minimize mucosal trauma and resistance during insertion. The 22 Fr diameter corresponds to a larger bore suitable for cases requiring more substantial dilation or when preparing the urethra for larger-caliber catheters and instruments.
