Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 13.5mm

Clinical Application

This instrument is used to achieve controlled cervical dilation prior to intrauterine procedures. The straight, tapered profile facilitates progressive enlargement of the cervical canal to permit safe passage of suction curettes, hysteroscopes, intrauterine device introducers and other operative instruments. The 13.5 mm diameter represents a mid-range working size commonly used in outpatient and operative settings where a single-step or sequential dilation strategy is indicated.

Design & Configuration

The solid, straight cylindrical geometry provides predictable, uniform dilation with minimal focal pressure. The gradual taper and blunt, atraumatic tip reduce the risk of cervical laceration while allowing the clinician to sense tissue resistance during insertion. A smooth surface finish assists with gentle passage and reduces tissue catch; the simple rod configuration is compatible with both manual dilatory technique and adjunctive instrument guidance.
