Sims Uterine Sound rigid graduated 32cm

Clinical Application

This rigid, graduated Sims uterine sound is designed for safe and reliable assessment of uterine depth and canal direction prior to intrauterine procedures. It is used to determine uterine cavity length, confirm cervical canal alignment, and guide uterine instrumentation during IUD placement, pre-dilation assessment, diagnostic hysteroscopy set-up, and other gynecologic examinations. The atraumatic tip facilitates atraumatic entry and reduces perforation risk when used with standard clinical technique.

Design & Configuration

The Sims pattern provides a traditional uterine-sounding geometry favored by many gynecologists. The rigid shaft gives precise tactile feedback and positive control during advancement, while the graduated depth markings permit immediate, reproducible measurement of uterine length. The 32 cm overall length provides extended reach for cases where additional length is required to access the uterine cavity or to accommodate anatomic variation. A rounded, atraumatic tip helps minimize tissue trauma during sounding.
