Dilator. (open access)

Dilator.

Patent for a dilator meant to enlarge the urethral and other canals of the human body. It is meant of "elastic material and capable of distention, or dilation, under the pressure of air, water, or other fluid introduced and to combine with said dilator means whereby its uniform enlargement under internal pressure shall take place without increase of length, thereby avoiding the objection common to all, rubber and similar structures heretofore, that interior pressure produced elongation at the expense of increase in diameter, while any inequality of strength, or thickness, caused unequal expansion" (lines 13-24).
