Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 21 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved dilating bougie is intended for controlled mechanical dilation of narrow or stenotic tubular lumens and for use as a guide to facilitate placement of tubes, catheters or endoscopes. At 21 Fr and 34.5 cm length, it is sized for procedures requiring intermediate diameter dilation and an extended working length where a curved delivery path improves access. It is useful in settings where tactile feedback during progressive dilation and reliable lumen negotiation are required.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry aids navigation through anatomically angulated segments, allowing the operator to follow natural lumen contours while maintaining tactile control. A progressively contoured profile provides gradual dilation as the device is advanced, reducing the need for forceful manipulation and helping to minimize mucosal trauma. The 34.5 cm working length offers reach beyond short introducers while preserving handling control at the proximal end.
