Dittel Dilating Bougies str 24 Fr.

Clinical Application

Used primarily for controlled dilation and calibration of the urethra in urologic procedures. Common indications include gradual dilation of urethral strictures, pre-dilation to facilitate passage of a Foley catheter or cystoscope, and intraoperative calibration during urethral reconstructive procedures. The 24 French diameter corresponds to a common working size for adult male urethral management and for preparing a tract for subsequent instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides direct tactile feedback and predictable directional control during insertion and withdrawal, allowing the operator to sense resistance from strictured segments. A tapered, atraumatic rounded tip eases entry and reduces mucosal trauma while allowing progressive dilation to the target diameter. The single-piece straight configuration simplifies handling in confined anatomy and is compatible with standard urologic technique for gradual, graduated dilation.
