Clinical Application
This malleable Sims uterine curette is designed for gynecologic procedures requiring controlled blunt curettage and endometrial sampling. Typical uses include diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), removal of retained products of conception, gentle scraping of the endometrial surface, and intrauterine tissue retrieval during gynecologic surgery. The blunt blade is intended to reduce tissue trauma while allowing effective debridement and sampling.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a malleable shaft that can be contoured intraoperatively to match uterine curvature, improving access and tactile feedback in variable anatomy. The 19 mm blunt blade provides a broad scraping surface for efficient tissue removal while minimizing the risk of focal perforation associated with sharp curettes. An overall length of 31 cm offers extended reach for deeper cavities and varied patient body habitus, facilitating procedures across outpatient clinics and operating rooms.
