The Bard 021806 Woven Filiform Urethral Dilation Catheter (6 Fr, 18″) is a precision‑engineered urological instrument designed to support clinicians in navigating and dilating narrow or strictured segments of the urethra with confidence and control. Constructed from a woven nylon/dacron braid, this filiform catheter is designed to soften at body temperature, allowing the straight tip to gently advance and, if needed, curl within the bladder — enhancing clinical access and minimizing tissue resistance. Its 6 French diameter and extended 18‑inch length make it ideally suited for challenging urethral access scenarios where finesse and flexibility are paramount.

In both diagnostic and therapeutic urological procedures, the Bard filiform catheter’s straight tip design provides predictable, smooth passage, helping clinicians overcome strictures and effortlessly guide subsequent instruments such as dilation bougies or urethral catheters into position. The sterile, reusable construction supports procedural efficiency while aligning with operating room protocols and infection control standards. Being latex‑free, it also enhances patient safety by reducing the risk of latex sensitivity reactions.

Clinicians trust the Bard woven filiform series for its blend of performance, reliability, and adaptability in complex urethral management tasks. Whether facilitating access prior to catheter placement or assisting in challenging catheterization cases, the Bard 021806 Woven Filiform Urethral Dilation Catheter is a dependable addition to any urology suite — supporting optimized workflow and improved patient outcomes across a spectrum of urological care.
