Clinical Application
Hank uterine dilators are used to achieve progressive mechanical dilation of the cervical canal to permit safe uterine access. A staged set of dilators allows the operator to gently increase cervical caliber with tactile feedback, reducing the need for aggressive manual force. Typical procedures include dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy, uterine instrumentation, and intrauterine device placement in both ambulatory and operating room settings.
Design & Configuration
The set configuration of six graduated dilators provides a sequential series of straight, rigid shafts with smooth, tapered, blunt tips. The tapered geometry facilitates gradual spreading of cervical tissue while minimizing focal pressure and reducing the risk of cervical laceration or perforation. Straight, rigid construction gives predictable control and reliable tactile feedback as diameter is increased stepwise, supporting controlled dilation in delicate clinical situations.
