Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic procedures that require controlled uterine curettage and tissue removal. This rigid Sims-style curette with a 9 mm blade is suited for diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), partial evacuation of retained products of conception, and targeted endometrial sampling where a firm shaft and defined blade are required to reach and clear the uterine cavity reliably.
Design & Configuration
The rigid 31 cm shaft delivers tactile feedback and direct control during intrauterine manipulation, helping clinicians maintain consistent contact with the endometrial surface. The 9 mm scoop-style blade provides a balance between effective tissue engagement and minimizing excessive trauma to the uterine lining. The Sims (Fig.3) geometry represents a mid‑sized curvature and blade proportion commonly used for general-purpose curettage across a range of uterine sizes.
