Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 15 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended to provide controlled, graduated dilation of narrowed luminal anatomy and to serve as a guide for safe passage of catheters, endoscopes, or airway/tube devices. Its dimensions make it appropriate for procedures requiring an extended reach and a flexible profile to navigate anatomical curves, assisting clinicians in dilation of strictures and in exchanging or introducing tubular devices under direct or indirect visualization.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry follows natural anatomical bends to reduce levering and resistance during advancement. A tapered, atraumatic distal tip reduces mucosal catch and facilitates gradual dilation while minimizing local trauma. The 34.5 cm working length provides extended reach beyond the oral cavity or external access point, enabling use in procedures that require reaching into deeper luminal segments while the curved shaft helps maintain alignment with the lumen axis.
