Dittel Dilating Bougies str 9 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled urethral dilation and calibration, this straight Dittel dilating bougie provides a reliable method to traverse tight or narrowed urethral segments, confirm lumen diameter, and facilitate the passage of catheters or endoscopes. It is used in urology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and operating rooms for diagnostic evaluation of strictures and as part of staged dilation protocols.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry gives direct, predictable access along the urethral axis and maximizes tactile feedback during passage. A smooth, tapered atraumatic tip eases negotiation of strictured segments while minimizing mucosal trauma. The rigid, narrow profile of the 9 Fr instrument makes it well suited as an initial or precision dilator in a sequential dilation set or when confirming a small-caliber lumen prior to catheter placement.
