Sims Uterine Curette rig. bl 19mm 31cm Fig.9

Clinical Application

This rigid Sims uterine curette is designed for controlled endometrial scraping and evacuation procedures. Its broad, rounded tip provides an atraumatic surface for blunt curettage during diagnostic and therapeutic dilation & curettage (D&C), postpartum or post-miscarriage uterine evacuation, and removal of retained products of conception. The configuration supports use in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and gynecology clinics where tactile feedback and a reliable scraping surface are required.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft provides direct tactile feedback and axial control during sweeping motions within the uterine cavity, improving the surgeon's ability to distinguish tissue resistance and reducing inadvertent force. The 19 mm rounded (ball) tip distributes contact force over a wider area compared with sharp curettes, lowering the risk of focal perforation while enabling effective detachment of soft tissue. The 31 cm overall length offers reach suitable for a range of uterine sizes and patient anatomies while maintaining ergonomic handling.
