Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 23 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, progressive dilation and lumen calibration in procedures that require atraumatic enlargement of narrow tubular anatomy. The curved 23 Fr caliber and 34.5 cm working length permit access along natural anatomical curves to negotiate and dilate focal strictures, facilitate passage of endoscopes or catheters, and assist in pre‑ or post‑operative luminal assessment. Clinicians commonly use this style of bougie for staged dilation protocols and for situations where a predictable, single‑instrument caliber is required.

Design & Configuration

The fixed curvature (cvd) follows typical anatomical trajectories, reducing the need for excessive manipulation and improving alignment when advancing through curved segments. The 34.5 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for many lower urinary and select upper tract applications without excess shaft length. A single‑piece, elongated dilator profile enables controlled, incremental passage with tactile feedback that helps the operator gauge resistance and progression during dilation maneuvers.
