A urethral bougie is a reusable surgical instrument used to explore or dilate narrow sections of the urethra or urinary meatus. Its tapered, semi-rigid shaft and bulbous tip allow careful passage through strictures, helping restore proper urine flow or prepare the urethra for further procedures.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are often supplied sterile or intended for reprocessing between uses, depending on manufacturer guidelines and local healthcare protocols.
