Cook Medical SGD-6-70 Savary-Gilliard Dilator - 6mm (18 Fr), 70cm Length, Wire-Guided Esophageal Dilator G21830

Cook Medical Savary-Gilliard Dilator | 6mm (18 Fr) | SGD-6-70 | G21830

The Cook Medical SGD-6-70 is the industry-standard instrument for the management of esophageal strictures. Engineered for 2026 clinical protocols, this 6 mm (18 French) wire-guided dilator is designed to provide controlled, progressive dilation of peptic strictures, anastomotic narrowing, and achalasia.

The Savary-Gilliard system is globally recognized for its safety profile. By utilizing a central lumen for guide wire passage, the SGD-6-70 minimizes the risk of esophageal perforation and ensures the dilator follows the correct anatomical path, even through tortuous or narrow passages.

Key Performance Features

• Wire-Guided Safety: The central lumen is designed to track over a standard guide wire, providing the clinician with maximum control and preventing the tip from deviating into the esophageal wall.

• Tapered Atraumatic Tip: Features a precision-engineered taper that ensures a smooth, gradual transition as the dilator engages the stricture site, reducing patient discomfort and tissue trauma.

• Radiopaque Visualization: Equipped with a dedicated radiopaque marker at the point of maximum diameter. This allows for exact fluoroscopic positioning, ensuring the dilation is occurring at the precise location intended.

• High-Tactility PVC Construction: Fabricated from medical-grade PVC that offers the perfect balance of flexibility and stiffness. This provides the clinician with essential tactile feedback to "feel" the resistance of the stricture during the procedure.
