Dittel Dilating Bougies cvd 24 Fr. 34.5cm

Clinical Application

This curved Dittel dilating bougie is intended to provide controlled progressive dilation and luminal access during urologic procedures. It is commonly used to negotiate urethral strictures, dilate narrowed segments, and act as a guide for catheter placement or dilator exchanges. The 24 French caliber is selected for moderate-caliber dilation and for situations where a larger lumen is required for subsequent instrumentation or drainage.

Design & Configuration

The curved geometry helps align the instrument with the natural anatomic curvature encountered during urethral passage, improving control and reducing the need for repeated redirection. The tapered, atraumatic dilating tip facilitates gradual lumen expansion while minimizing mucosal trauma. A 34.5 cm working length provides sufficient reach for adult anatomy and procedural maneuvers where extended length is required.
