Purpose: The in vitro study compares natural and synthetic osmotic dilators in selected parameters influencing their clinical efficacy.
Methods: Diameters of Laminaria and synthetic dilators (Dilapan-S and Dilasoft) were measured in dry state, during free swelling in isotonic solution and during swelling against a force. Three aspects were evaluated-diameter increase, speed of action and consistency of action.
