A bougie for insertion in a patient, the bougie including: (i) a main shaft having proximal and distal ends and a bore extending axially therein; (ii) a movable tip having proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the movable tip being connected to the distal end of the main shaft; (iii) a control member having proximal and distal ends, the control member being mounted for sliding movement in the bore of the main shaft; and (iv) the distal end of the control member being coupled to the distal end of the movable tip, the arrangement being such that an operator can slide the control member relative to the main shaft so as to cause displacement of the tip relative to the axial direction of the main shaft. |
