Fascial tissue dilators are single-use surgical tools designed to gently stretch or widen fascial tissue around cavities, tracts, or openings before inserting a catheter. Clinically, they help reduce trauma and improve access during procedures like arterial catheterization by preparing the pathway for smoother device insertion.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and may require compliance with general medical device safety standards. They are supplied sterile, pre-packaged, and come in various sizes to accommodate different anatomical needs, though classification varies by jurisdiction.
