Maloney Dilators are not "sterile". They are high level disinfected. This can be accomplished by either Cidex OPA or using a Medivator.

Why is the maloney dilator inserted under non-sterile conditions?

The Maloney dilator is inserted under non-sterile conditions because the procedure is considered clean rather than sterile. It is typically performed in an office setting rather than an operating room, and the risk of introducing harmful bacteria is low. The dilator is used to dilate the ureter and allow better imaging of the urinary tract during procedures such as retrograde pyelography.


What is the difference between the savory dilator and maloney dilator?

Wire guided dilators (Savary dilators)These dilators are tapered and shaped like Maloney dilators. The scope is used to pass a guide-wire through the stricture. The scope is then removed and the Savary dilators are passed over the guide-wire through the stricture. The dilators have a small passageway through the center which allows them to slide over the wire. These are used when strictures are too firm or too narrow to be dilated with Maloney dilators. Maloney dilators are not wire guided.
