Dittel Dilating Bougies str 27 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used primarily in urology for urethral dilation and calibration, this straight dilating bougie provides controlled enlargement of the urethral lumen during management of urethral strictures, pre- or post-operative calibration, and when facilitating the passage of larger-caliber catheters or instruments. A 27 French caliber is selected when a larger final lumen is required or as part of serial dilation protocols. It is suitable for use in clinic procedures, endourology cases, and ambulatory surgical settings.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry offers direct control and predictable directional force during passage, reducing the tendency for tip deflection that can lead to false passages. The shaft is finished smooth and firm to transmit consistent dilating pressure while minimizing surface friction. A rounded, atraumatic tip protects mucosa on entry and advancement, supporting safer dilation and easier negotiation of narrowed segments. The single-piece, rigid configuration is intended to provide tactile feedback to the operator for precise positioning.
