Abstract
A movable bougie tip device includes a tip section having a tip, a holder, and a recoiled wire and a bougie section having a bougie, a silk thread, and a slide button located at a first end thereof. The slide button adjusts an angle of the tip relative to the bougie. The silk thread is disposed within a body of the bougie and extends through an outer surface of the tip from the body of the bougie through an opening and protrudes out the tip. The holder holds the silk thread at a distal end of the tip section. The tip bends at an angle ranging from 30° to 90° relative to the bougie, and the recoiled wire prevents kinking of the tip.
