Sims Uterine Curette mal. bl 25mm 31cm Fig.13

Clinical Application

This instrument is a Sims-pattern uterine curette intended for gynecologic procedures requiring controlled scraping or sampling of the endometrial cavity. It is commonly used for diagnostic endometrial sampling, therapeutic curettage during dilation and curettage (D&C) procedures, and removal of small retained products of conception. The blunt, spoon-shaped working end facilitates tissue collection while minimizing focal cutting injury.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft allows the surgeon to contour the instrument to match uterine axis and cervical angulation, improving reach and control in variable anatomy. A 25 mm blunt working blade provides a broad scraping surface for effective tissue removal and sampling, while the 31 cm overall length offers extended reach when needed. The Sims-style spoon profile promotes efficient engagement of endometrial tissue with reduced risk of perforation compared with sharper curette designs.
