The Bard 021803 Woven Filiform Urethral Dilation Catheter (3 Fr, 18″) is a precision‑engineered urological instrument designed for navigating narrow or strictured segments of the urethra with enhanced control and minimal trauma. Crafted with a woven nylon/dacron braid, this delicate filiform softens at body temperature, enabling the straight tip to gently advance and, when appropriate, curl within the bladder — improving clinical access and reducing patient discomfort. Its slender 3 French diameter and extended 18‑inch length make it ideal for addressing challenging urethral passages that require a finesse approach.

Surgeons and urology specialists value this filiform catheter for its reliable performance in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings. The straight tip design facilitates smooth passage, helping clinicians traverse strictures and guide subsequent instruments such as dilation bougies or catheters into position. Because the device is sterile and reusable, it supports procedural efficiency in operating rooms, ambulatory surgical centers, and specialized urology clinics while aligning with sterile technique requirements.

With its high‑quality woven construction and usability across a spectrum of delicate urethral procedures, the Bard 021803 filiform catheter is a trusted tool in any urologist’s armamentarium. Whether helping establish access prior to dilation or assisting in difficult catheter placements, this durable, clinician‑preferred device enhances workflow and supports better patient outcomes in complex urological care.
