Bougies designed to explore (e.g., to search for stones) and/or dilate the urethra. These manual, handheld devices are typically hollow metallic or plastic cylinders that often have a tapered working end. Some urethral bougies permit the introduction of an extremely slender solid tube (a filiform) through their lumen for use as a guide or for dilation of very thin strictures.
