Clinical Application
This set provides a complete progression of Hegar dilators for controlled, serial cervical dilation. The instruments are used to gently and incrementally dilate the cervical canal to allow uterine access for procedures such as diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy preparation, uterine sounding, and other gynecologic interventions that require atraumatic cervical dilation. The full size range supports small pediatric/neo-cervical dilation up through larger diameters used in standard adult procedures.
Design & Configuration
The single-ended cylindrical geometry with smooth, tapered, rounded tips facilitates gradual dilation while minimizing localized pressure and tissue traction. A set of serially graduated diameters (1–30 mm) permits stepwise progression, providing tactile feedback to the clinician and enabling precise control over the rate and extent of dilation. Supplying the instruments individually in a pouch keeps sizes organized and accessible in procedural trays.
Instrument Specifications
- Set composition: 30 single-ended Hegar dilators supplied in pouch
- Diameter range: 1 mm through 30 mm (graduated increments)
- Tip style: Smooth, rounded (bullet) tip to reduce trauma
- Intended use: Serial mechanical cervical dilation
- Reusable instrument set designed for facility reprocessing
Material & Construction
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining a smooth finish on the dilator surface. The simple, solid construction provides reliable tactile response during dilation and simplifies reprocessing and inspection between uses.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
