dilatable
Able to stretch
Dilatable describes something capable of being dilated—expanded, widened, or stretched open.
The term appears most often in medical and scientific contexts: a dilatable balloon catheter, dilatable pupils, a dilatable stricture.
Blood vessels, airways, and other tubular structures may be described as dilatable when they can expand in response to pressure or treatment.
