Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 22 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended to provide controlled, atraumatic dilation and calibration of the urethral lumen and bladder neck during urologic procedures. At 22 Fr and 34.5 cm in working length, it is sized for adult transurethral use to facilitate passage of catheters, dilators, and endoscopic instruments, and to assess stricture diameter during intraoperative evaluation.

Design & Configuration

The Dittel curved configuration follows the natural anterior curvature encountered during transurethral access, improving passage along the urethral trajectory and reducing the need for excessive force or repositioning. The combination of 22 Fr diameter and 34.5 cm length provides sufficient shaft length for secure handling while allowing advancement into the bladder when required. A polished surface minimizes friction against mucosa during insertion and withdrawal, supporting smoother dilation and instrument exchange.
