Cook Medical SGD-5-70 Savary-Gilliard Dilator - 5mm (15 Fr), 70cm Wire-Guided Esophageal Dilator G22147

Cook Medical Savary-Gilliard Dilator | 5mm (15 Fr) | SGD-5-70

The Cook Medical SGD-5-70 (G22147) is a precision-engineered instrument designed for the 2026 standard of care in treating esophageal stenosis. As the smallest diameter in many progressive dilation sets, this 5 mm (15 French) model is a critical tool for navigating high-grade strictures or initiating the first stage of therapeutic dilation.

The Savary-Gilliard system remains the clinical benchmark for safety in upper GI procedures. By tracking over a pre-placed guide wire, the SGD-5-70 ensures that the dilating force is applied concentrically, following the natural lumen of the esophagus and significantly reducing the risk of accidental perforation.

Key Performance Features

• Wire-Guided Control: The internal lumen is designed to follow a standard 0.035-inch or 0.038-inch guide wire. This ensures the dilator stays centered within the esophageal lumen, even when traversing tortuous anatomy or anastomotic narrowed zones.

• Long, Gradual Taper: Features a factory-perfect tapered tip that facilitates a gentle "step-up" as the dilator engages the stricture. This design minimizes tissue trauma and provides the physician with exceptional tactile feedback regarding the resistance of the lesion.

• Radiopaque Accuracy: Includes a dedicated radiopaque marker at the point of maximum diameter. This allows for real-time fluoroscopic verification, ensuring the stricture is being fully engaged at the intended therapeutic site.

• High-Flexibility PVC: Constructed from a medical-grade PVC that balances structural stiffness (for pushability) with enough flexibility to safely navigate the pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter.
