Cook Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14577
The Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14577 is a medical device used to gently expand the ureter (the tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder) before urological procedures. It is made of smooth, biocompatible PTFE material for easy, low-friction insertion. This dilator helps prepare the ureter for instruments such as scopes, stents, or baskets during procedures like ureteroscopy or stone removal.
The Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14577 provides controlled, gradual dilation of the ureter while minimizing trauma to the ureteral wall. Its smooth PTFE surface reduces friction, allowing safe and comfortable passage of endoscopic instruments. The radiopaque design enables visualization under fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate placement during procedures. Compatible with standard guidewires and ureteral access devices, it is ideal for pre-access dilation in endourological interventions.
