Clinical Application
Designed for controlled mechanical cervical dilation, this graduated Hegar set is used to progressively dilate the cervical canal prior to diagnostic and operative gynecologic procedures such as dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy access, intrauterine device placement, and other procedures requiring atraumatic cervical enlargement. The wide diameter range (1 mm to 26 mm) accommodates gradual up-sizing from pediatric or nulliparous cervical canals through full therapeutic dilation.
Design & Configuration
The set is configured as a series of serially graduated, single-ended dilators that provide predictable incremental increases in diameter. Rounded, slightly tapered tips facilitate atraumatic engagement of the cervical os while the smooth, polished shafts reduce friction during insertion and withdrawal. A comprehensive range of diameters allows clinicians to dilate in small controlled steps to minimize cervical trauma and reduce patient discomfort.
Instrument Specifications
