Clinical Application
Used to determine uterine depth and orientation, this malleable uterine sound aids in preoperative assessment and intraoperative guidance during procedures such as uterine sounding for intrauterine device (IUD) placement, cervical dilation, and uterine interior assessment prior to hysteroscopy. The 32 cm overall length provides extended reach for deeper cavities and when additional length is required for patient habitus or instrument stack conditions.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft can be gently shaped to match the patient’s uterine axis, improving alignment and reducing the need for forceful manipulation. An ergonomic handle delivers tactile feedback to the operator for controlled insertion, while a rounded atraumatic tip minimizes endometrial contact and lowers the risk of perforation when used with appropriate technique. The longer 32 cm configuration is beneficial when additional reach is required to pass through cervical dilation instruments or to work with adjunct devices.
