Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 13 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended to provide controlled dilation and lumen calibration of tubular anatomy and to act as a guide for placement of catheters, stents, or endoluminal devices. The 13 Fr profile and 34.5 cm working length make it suitable for procedures requiring a slim, intermediate-length dilator to traverse and dilate narrowed segments while allowing subsequent over-the-bougie exchange of devices.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry follows typical anatomic contours, improving passage through non-linear lumens and reducing the need for forceful manipulation. The tapered, atraumatic tip eases initial entry and helps distribute dilating forces gradually to minimize mucosal trauma. The 34.5 cm length permits access beyond short proximal segments without excessive external exposure, permitting accurate positioning and controlled dilation.
