Sims Uterine Curette mal. bl 23mm 31cm Fig.12

Clinical Application

This Sims-pattern uterine curette is intended for gynecologic procedures requiring mechanical endometrial sampling or removal of intrauterine tissue. Typical uses include diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), postpartum evacuation of retained products of conception, and targeted endometrial curettage. The blunt, spoon-shaped tip is optimized to collect tissue while minimizing sharp-edge penetration during controlled scraping maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a malleable shaft that can be manually contoured by the operator to follow individual uterine anatomy or to navigate around anatomical variations. The 23 mm spoon-shaped tip conforms to the uterine fundal curvature to facilitate even contact across the endometrial surface. A blunt curette edge reduces the likelihood of inadvertent perforation compared with sharp curette designs while allowing effective tissue removal under tactile feedback. The 31 cm overall length provides reach for a wide range of uterine sizes and clinical scenarios.
