Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 14 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended to provide controlled, stepwise dilation of tubular strictures and luminal narrowing. It is used to negotiate and gradually enlarge stenotic segments and to serve as a guide for placement of larger dilators, catheters, or endoscopic equipment during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry follows anatomic contours to improve trackability and reduce undue mucosal contact during passage. At 34.5 cm overall length and 14 Fr caliber, the instrument is configured to reach and traverse moderate-length luminal segments while offering a balance between flexibility and pushability that clinicians rely on for controlled dilation and device exchange.
