Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 20 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

Curved dilating bougies are used to negotiate and dilate urethral strictures, confirm luminal continuity, and facilitate guided passage of urethral catheters and instruments. The 20 Fr size is commonly employed when moderate dilation is required or when sizing is needed prior to definitive treatment. The curved profile aids in following the natural urethral curvature and provides tactile feedback to help avoid false passage.

Design & Configuration

The curved (cvd) geometry is intended to track the physiologic contour of the urethra, improving control during blind or semi-blind instrumentation. The 34.5 cm working length provides sufficient reach for standard urethral procedures while allowing the operator to maintain a stable distal grip for controlled advancement and withdrawal. A single-diameter 20 Fr shaft offers consistent dilation and predictable calibration.
