Esophageal Bougie Dilator Set

An esophageal bougie dilator set opens a benign esophageal stricture in steps. The set holds wire-guided bougies of increasing diameter, from 5 to 20 mm, and each bougie has a tapered atraumatic tip. The bougie follows the guidewire through the stricture, so the next step is chosen at the table.

This page is intended for healthcare professionals.

Esophageal Bougie Dilator Set

A graduated set of wire-guided bougie dilators used to progressively dilate esophageal strictures.

In which cases?

  • A benign oesophageal stricture: peptic, anastomotic or after radiotherapy.
  • A stricture too tight for the scope to pass, opened stepwise in one session.
  • A patient on a dilation programme coming back for the next diameter.
  • A stricture where axial as well as radial force is wanted.

What makes it different?

  • Tapered tip and a guidewire lumen, so the bougie follows the wire through the stricture.
  • Two distal radiopaque markers and length marks on a transparent shaft, for position under fluoroscopy.
  • Diameters from 5 to 20 mm across the set, so the next step is chosen at the table.
