J.M.S.W.S Type Uterine Dilator 17mm, Fig.17

Clinical Application

Designed for mechanical dilation of the cervical canal to establish or maintain uterine access. Commonly used during procedures such as diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy, dilation and curettage (D&C), endometrial sampling, IUD insertion or removal when controlled dilation to approximately 17 mm is required. Can be used in concert with a speculum and tenaculum to stabilize the cervix during dilation.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s rigid, single-piece construction and smooth shaft provide predictable transmission of axial force during dilation while minimizing surface drag against the cervical epithelium. A precisely sized 17 mm diameter delivers consistent lumen enlargement, helping clinicians achieve the target cervical aperture with controlled tactile feedback. The handle and shaft geometry support one-handed advancement when used with standard gynecologic retractors and stabilizing instruments.
