Dittel Dilating Bougies str 23 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, progressive dilation of narrowed lumens and strictures. Commonly used as a single-step or serial dilator to facilitate passage of endoscopes, catheters, or stents and to restore luminal caliber during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The 23 French diameter provides an intermediate dilation size suitable for many adult applications where moderate enlargement is needed.

Design & Configuration

The straight configuration offers direct axial control and predictable tip trajectory during insertion. A tapered tip allows gradual engagement of a stricture and smoother negotiation of narrowed segments, minimizing catch and reducing the force required for dilation. A polished shaft surface promotes atraumatic passage and reliable tactile feedback to the operator during incremental advancement.
