Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 10 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled progressive dilation and calibration of the urethral lumen, this curved dilating bougie is used to negotiate and dilate urethral strictures, establish an atraumatic tract for catheter placement, and facilitate subsequent endoscopic instrumentation. The 10 Fr caliber is suitable for small-caliber dilation or initial stages of graduated dilation protocols and may be used in adult female, pediatric, or staged male urethral procedures where a smaller initial diameter is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft geometry follows the natural urethral contour to reduce resistance during advancement and to improve tactile feedback when traversing areas of narrowing. The tapered, atraumatic tip permits gentle tissue separation and minimizes mucosal trauma while allowing the clinician to sense transitions in caliber. The 34.5 cm working length provides ample shaft for controlled manipulation and depth control during placement and exchange maneuvers.

Material & Construction

Built for repeated clinical use and compatible with standard sterilization workflows. This pattern is typically manufactured from precision medical-grade materials that resist corrosion and retain dimensional stability through repeated reprocessing cycles; stainless steel is the common construction for rigid dilators of this type. The smooth polished finish reduces friction and eases insertion while preserving tissue integrity.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
