Clinical Application
Graded, atraumatic cervical dilation using blunt, mechanically sized instruments. The graduated Hegar set permits controlled progressive dilation of the cervical canal to establish uterine access prior to procedures such as dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy requiring mechanical dilation, and other gynecologic operative procedures. The paired sizes allow a predictable stepwise increase in instrument diameter, helping clinicians minimize cervical trauma while achieving the desired lumen size.
Design & Configuration
Each instrument in this set is double-ended with two adjacent metric diameters, enabling compact instrumentation while covering a broad size range. The gently tapered, rounded cylindrical tips provide blunt dilation with tactile feedback that helps the operator sense resistance and tissue compliance during advancement. The included stainless steel case organizes the sequence of sizes for efficient intraoperative selection and secure storage between uses.
Instrument Specifications
- Set composition: 8 double-ended Hegar dilators covering paired sizes from 3/4 mm to 17/18 mm
- Tip geometry: Smooth, tapered, rounded cylindrical ends for blunt mechanical dilation
- Packaging: Supplied in a stainless steel storage case for organization and transport
- Intended use: Progressive cervical dilation to facilitate uterine instrumentation
- Reusable: Designed for repeated sterilization and clinical use
Material & Construction
Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel and supplied in a matching stainless steel case. The smooth polished surfaces reduce tissue adherence and facilitate cleaning and sterilization between procedures. The double-ended format reduces total instrument count while preserving a full graduated range of diameters.
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.
