Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 29 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended for progressive dilation and calibration of tubular anatomical lumens and strictures, and for use as a guide to facilitate passage of catheters, scopes, or other introducers. Its diameter (29 Fr) and 34.5 cm working length make it suitable for adult procedures where a larger-caliber dilator is required. In practice it is used in controlled, stepwise dilation protocols to restore or increase lumen caliber while preserving mucosal integrity; tactile feedback from the shaft helps the operator assess resistance and confirm intraluminal placement.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry follows anatomic contours to reduce kinking and improve alignment with natural lumen paths during advancement. A tapered, atraumatic tip facilitates initial entry and minimizes mucosal trauma during progressive dilations. The 34.5 cm length provides reach for deeper luminal segments while the relatively large 29 Fr diameter delivers the dilation effect required for larger-caliber applications. The semi-rigid balance between flexibility and support aids controlled dilation and allows the bougie to serve as a stable guide for over-the-bougie placement of devices.
