Cook Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14576
The Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14576 is a medical device used to gently widen the ureter (the tube carrying urine from the kidney to the bladder) before urological procedures. It is made from smooth, biocompatible PTFE material for easy, low-friction insertion. This dilator prepares the ureter for instruments like scopes, stents, or baskets during ureteroscopy or stone removal.
The Ureteral Dilator PTFE G14576 provides controlled dilation of the ureter while minimizing trauma to the ureteral wall. Its smooth, non-stick PTFE surface reduces friction, allowing safe passage of endoscopic instruments. Radiopaque features make the dilator visible under fluoroscopy, ensuring accurate placement by the surgeon. It is compatible with standard guidewires and ureteral access devices, making it ideal for pre-access dilation in urological procedures.
