Sims Uterine Curette rig. bl 30mm 31cm Fig.14

Clinical Application

Designed for diagnostic and therapeutic uterine curettage, this instrument is intended to remove or sample endometrial tissue during dilation and curettage (D&C) and other gynecologic procedures. The ball tip provides a blunt scraping surface that facilitates controlled removal of uterine lining or retained tissue while minimizing the risk of focal perforation compared with sharp curettes. Its length supports reach into the uterine cavity for thorough sampling or evacuation under direct clinical control.

Design & Configuration

The rigid shaft delivers predictable transmission of controlled pressure and tactile feedback during curettage, helping clinicians perform systematic scraping or sampling of the endometrial surface. The 30 mm ball tip offers a larger, blunt contact area for efficient tissue engagement and redistribution of force to reduce focal trauma. A 31 cm overall length provides additional reach required in varied patient anatomies while maintaining handling stability in the operator's hand.
