Dittel Dilating Bougies str 14 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, graded mechanical dilation of narrow or stenotic segments in tubular anatomy. Common clinical uses include calibration and gentle dilation to facilitate passage of scopes, catheters, or instruments and to progressively enlarge strictures in urology, ENT, and other endoluminal procedures where a straight bougie is indicated. The 14 Fr size is intended for small-caliber dilation tasks and intermediate-stage serial dilations.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry transmits axial force directly from the operator’s hand to the distal tip, providing predictable tactile feedback during advancement and withdrawal. This configuration is preferred when a linear approach and controlled, incremental dilation are required. The Dittel pattern denotes a traditional dilator form factor optimized for smooth insertion and sequential use in graduated dilation protocols.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Dilating bougie (Dittel pattern)
• Configuration: Straight
• Size: 14 Fr
• Intended use: Graded mechanical dilation of luminal strictures
• Reusable: Yes

Material & Construction

Constructed for repeated clinical use with a smooth, polished surface to minimize tissue drag and facilitate cleaning and sterilization. Reusable stainless steel construction provides the rigidity required for controlled dilation while allowing standard sterilization methods in surgical and procedural facilities.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
