Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 28.0mm

Clinical Application

This single-ended Hegar uterine dilator is designed for mechanical cervical dilation and calibration. It is used by gynecologists and operative teams to achieve and maintain a controlled cervical opening during procedures such as dilation and curettage, preparation for hysteroscopy, removal of retained products, or other operative interventions that require passage of instrumentation into the uterine cavity. The 28.0 mm diameter represents a large-caliber dilator typically used when a wide cervical os is required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s straight, solid, tapered geometry provides progressive radial expansion as it is advanced, allowing controlled dilation with tactile feedback. A smooth, rounded atraumatic tip reduces the risk of coring or cervical trauma during entry. The single-ended (S/E) configuration offers a robust working end and a secure grip for manual advancement and withdrawal. The uniform shaft and polished surface help facilitate smooth passage through the cervical canal.
