Dittel Dilating Bougies str 28 Fr.

Clinical Application

This straight dilating bougie is intended to establish or enlarge luminal patency in controlled bougienage procedures. At 28 French, it is selected when moderate dilation is required to pass instruments, maintain access, or serially dilate benign strictures. Use cases include intraoperative dilatation and endoscopic-assisted bougienage in appropriate gastrointestinal and genitourinary contexts where a straight rigid or semi-rigid dilator is indicated. Its design facilitates controlled tactile feedback to the operator during passage.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides axial stiffness and predictable trajectory, which aids safe advancement through narrowed segments and over guidewires when required. A tapered tip reduces resistance at the leading edge, helping atraumatic entry into stenotic segments and minimizing mucosal catch. The single-piece straight configuration makes it easy to align with the target lumen and allows consistent force transmission during dilation maneuvers.
