Hegar Uterine Dilator D/E 15/16mm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled mechanical cervical dilation for gynecologic procedures where atraumatic, graduated enlargement of the cervical canal is required. Common applications include dilation and curettage (D&C), pre-hysteroscopy cervical preparation, placement of intrauterine devices or instruments in an outpatient clinic or operating room setting.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended design offers two adjacent diameters on a single instrument, reducing instrument exchanges and streamlining progressive dilation. Each end features a gently tapered, rounded tip to facilitate atraumatic entry and minimize cervical tearing. The straight, rigid geometry delivers tactile feedback and directional control during insertion and rotation.
