Dittel Dilating Bougies str 25 Fr.

Clinical Application

This straight Dittel dilating bougie is intended for controlled bougienage during urologic procedures. It is used for progressive dilation of urethral strictures, calibration of the urethral lumen, and to facilitate passage of catheters or guidewires when negotiated atraumatically through narrowed segments. The instrument provides tactile feedback during passage so the operator can distinguish resistance from true stenosis versus soft tissue compliance.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry provides a direct line of access suited to anterior urethral passages and procedures requiring precise manual control. A smoothly tapered tip reduces mucosal trauma during insertion and withdrawal, while a firm but forgiving shaft stiffness balances pushability with responsiveness to the operator’s touch. The single-size 25 Fr profile is chosen for moderate-diameter dilation and is commonly used as part of a graduated dilator set when staged dilation is required.
