Dittel Dilating Bougies str 10 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used to establish or maintain a lumen during urologic procedures, this straight dilating bougie provides controlled, atraumatic dilation of the urethra to facilitate catheter introduction, passage through a narrowed segment, or progressive calibration prior to definitive treatment. The 10 French diameter is commonly selected for small-caliber passages, initial passage in a graduated dilation sequence, or when a low-profile introducer is required.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry offers direct tactile feedback to the operator, allowing the clinician to negotiate strictures and identify resistance points. A smooth, rounded tip reduces the risk of mucosal injury during advancement, while the polished shaft minimizes friction during insertion and withdrawal. The single-size, fixed-diameter design is intended for use as a discrete step in progressive dilation protocols or as an introducer for small catheters.
