Sims Uterine Curette mal. sh 16mm 31cm Fig.8

Clinical Application

This spoon-shaped Sims uterine curette is intended for gynecologic procedures requiring controlled removal or sampling of endometrial tissue. It is commonly used during dilation and curettage (D&C), endometrial biopsy, postpartum uterine clearance for retained products, and other procedures where blunt or scooping curettage is indicated. The 16 mm tip provides a broad surface area for efficient tissue collection while preserving tactile feedback for the operator.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a malleable shaft that can be gently contoured intraoperatively to match the patient’s uterine axis, facilitating atraumatic access to the fundus and lateral walls. The Fig.8 handle configuration offers a positive grip and control during scraping and rotation maneuvers, helping the surgeon maintain consistent pressure and angulation. The spoon-style Sims tip is designed to engage and remove tissue with a scraping motion rather than cutting, which is valuable for controlled curettage.
