Dittel Dilating Bougies str 22 Fr.

Clinical Application

Dilatation of narrowed tubular structures through controlled, stepwise passage of graduated instruments. This straight Dittel dilating bougie in 22 French is used to calibrate luminal diameter, restore or confirm patency, and facilitate passage of catheters or endoscopes. Common clinical uses include urologic urethral dilation and other procedures requiring a defined 22 Fr caliber for access or preparatory dilation.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration delivers direct axial force for predictable dilation and allows the operator to sense resistance and tissue planes during insertion. A single-caliber 22 Fr profile provides a consistent outer diameter for calibration or as an intermediate step in a graduated dilation series. The uncomplicated geometry favors controlled advancement and straightforward handling in confined anatomies.
