Sims Uterine Depressor 26cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide controlled uterine depression and positioning during gynecologic procedures. Commonly used to expose the cervix and manipulate uterine version during dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, IUD insertion/removal, and other minor operative or diagnostic vaginal procedures. The instrument enables an assistant or surgeon to maintain consistent downward traction or displacement of the uterus to improve visualization and access.

Design & Configuration

The flattened blade with a gentle curvature conforms to the posterior vaginal fornix and fundal surface, distributing pressure across a broader contact area to reduce focal tissue stress while achieving effective depression. The 26 cm overall length offers sufficient reach for routine vaginal procedures and intraoperative positioning without excessive bulk in the surgical field. A single-ended, solid handle provides a secure grip for manual control and precise adjustments.
