Sims Uterine Curette rig. sh 8mm 31cm Fig.2

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for manual endometrial and endocervical curettage and tissue sampling in gynecologic procedures. It is used during diagnostic and therapeutic dilatation and curettage (D&C), removal of uterine lining, and to obtain specimens for histologic evaluation. The Sims-style spoon tip facilitates controlled scraping and collection of endometrial tissue with broad contact to the uterine lining.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft provides firm axial stability and direct tactile feedback during curettage, allowing the operator to control depth and pressure reliably. The Sims spoon-shaped tip is configured to engage and collect tissue across a broader surface compared with narrow loops, while the provided 8 mm size offers a balance between sample volume and maneuverability. A 31 cm overall length accommodates access in a variety of patient anatomies and operative positions while keeping the working tip visible and controllable at the distal end.
