Dittel Dilating Bougies str 30 Fr.

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, graduated dilation of narrow tubular structures. Most commonly used in urology for progressive urethral dilation and calibration prior to endoscopic procedures, catheter placement, or stricture management. The 30 French diameter (approximately 10 mm) is used when a larger lumen caliber is required after serial dilation; it is typically introduced under direct vision or tactile guidance with appropriate anesthesia and sterile technique. The instrument provides tactile feedback to help the clinician assess resistance and lumen patency during passage.

Design & Configuration

The straight Dittel geometry provides a firm, linear shaft that facilitates direct access along the anatomic axis of the urethra or other tubular lumens. A smooth, atraumatic leading tip and polished surface reduce mucosal trauma and minimize friction during insertion and withdrawal. The rigid straight profile allows the surgeon to apply controlled axial force and precise positioning, which is important for serial dilation protocols and when converting to or from endoscopic instrumentation.
