Sims Uterine Curette rig. sh 20mm 31cm Fig.10

Clinical Application

Designed for gynecologic procedures that require controlled scraping and removal of endometrial tissue. Common uses include diagnostic endometrial sampling, dilation & curettage (D&C), and evacuation of retained products of conception. The spoon-shaped Sims tip collects tissue efficiently while the rigid shaft delivers direct tactile feedback for precise scraping along the uterine lining.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft construction transmits tactile feedback and facilitates controlled pressure at the curette tip, which surgeons rely on during blind D&C procedures. The 20 mm scoop provides a moderate working surface suitable for targeted sampling without excessive disruption of surrounding tissue. At 31 cm overall length the instrument affords adequate reach for routine cervical and uterine access in most adult patients, while the Sims-style spoon profile helps retain collected tissue during withdrawal.
