The classic Alken set sports a metal non flexible first dilator and is rather difficult to use unless you very frequently do this procedure. Rigid first dilator is, in my hands, a way to loss-of-access and/or perforation, which is why have been using Cook dilators now. With a flexible, disposable first dilator, followed by rigid metal dilators, I will have to reconsider my choice of instruments. Thanks for this review Thomas Muller, urologist, the Netherlands.
