Dittel Dilating Bougies str 29 Fr.

Clinical Application

This straight dilating bougie in 29 French is intended for controlled enlargement and calibration of luminal structures where a larger-diameter dilator is required. It is commonly used in genitourinary procedures for management of urethral strictures, meatal calibration, and to facilitate placement of catheters, sheaths, or endoscopes over a stable guide. Its size makes it appropriate when progression to higher caliber dilation is clinically indicated and when a firm, larger-diameter guide is needed in the operative or outpatient setting.

Design & Configuration

The straight shaft geometry provides a predictable trajectory during passage through the urethra or other straight luminal segments, improving control and minimizing uncontrolled bending. A smoothly tapered, atraumatic distal tip eases initial entry and helps reduce mucosal trauma during serial dilation. The shaft stiffness is balanced to transmit tactile feedback to the operator while maintaining sufficient column strength for controlled dilation and device guidance.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Dilating bougie
• Pattern / model: Dittel
• Configuration: straight
• Size: 29 Fr
• Typical use: Urethral dilation, lumen calibration, catheter/introducer guidance
• Reusable construction for hospital and ASC reprocessing workflows

Material & Construction

Constructed for repeated clinical use with a smooth, atraumatic distal profile to facilitate atraumatic passage. The shaft is manufactured to provide a controlled balance of flexibility and stiffness so the clinician retains tactile feedback during advancement and withdrawal. The design supports standard reprocessing and inspection between cases to maintain performance and patient safety.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
