Clinical Application
Used to determine uterine cavity depth, direction (anteversion/retroversion) and patency of the cervical canal prior to intrauterine procedures. Commonly employed during IUD insertions, diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy setup, dilatation and curettage, and preoperative assessment where accurate measurement of uterine depth and orientation improves procedural planning and reduces risk of perforation.
Design & Configuration
The straight configuration and 28 cm overall length provide sufficient reach from the introitus to the uterine fundus in the majority of adult patients while preserving tactile feedback through the shaft. A smooth, tapered probe tip facilitates atraumatic entry into the cervical canal and reliable contact with the fundus for accurate depth assessment. The instrument’s geometry supports controlled, axial advancement and helps guide subsequent devices (e.g., uterine sounders, dilators, hysteroscopes) along the established uterine axis.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Uterine sound (Collin pattern)
- Configuration: Straight
- Length: 28 cm
- Tip pattern: Probe tip for atraumatic sounding
- Primary uses: Measuring uterine depth, assessing cavity direction, guiding IUD insertion and hysteroscopic access
- Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel; reusable
Material & Construction
Fabricated from surgical-grade stainless steel with a smooth, polished surface to reduce tissue drag. Engineered for repeated clinical use and routine sterilization, the instrument balances rigidity for tactile feedback with a slender profile for atraumatic insertion.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
