Dittel Dilating Bougies str 11 Fr.

Clinical Application

Provides controlled, gradual dilation and calibration of urethral strictures and narrowed urethral segments. This straight Dittel-style dilating bougie is intended for use by urology teams in outpatient clinic, ambulatory surgery, and operating room settings to restore or confirm lumen patency, facilitate catheter placement, or as an adjunct during internal urethrotomy and other endo-urologic procedures. The 11 French diameter makes it suitable for fine calibration and for use as an intermediate step in progressive dilation protocols.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry offers direct tactile feedback and predictable linear force transmission during passage. A smoothly contoured, atraumatic tip profile (rounded and tapered in Dittel patterns) eases passage through narrowed segments while reducing the risk of mucosal injury or creation of false passages. A single, precise diameter simplifies inventory and selection when a specific calibration is required. The rigid, straight configuration is preferred when a stable, controllable dilating instrument is required for careful, incremental dilation.

Instrument Specifications
