Clinical Application
Designed for endometrial scraping and controlled evacuation of the uterine cavity, this Sims-pattern curette is used during diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), endometrial biopsy, removal of retained products of conception, and intrauterine debridement. The blunt loop enables effective tissue sampling while minimizing focal trauma to the endometrial surface.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft can be shaped intraoperatively to match uterine curvature, improving access and alignment in anatomically variable cases. A blunt, rounded curette loop spreads contact pressure over a larger area to reduce the risk of perforation compared with sharp curettes, while the 30 mm loop diameter provides a balance between surface coverage and tactile feedback for thorough sampling. The 31 cm overall length affords reach for deeper uterine cavities and accommodates a variety of patient anatomies and surgical approaches.
Instrument Specifications
- Pattern: Sims curette (Fig.14)
- Configuration: malleable shaft with blunt curette loop
- Loop diameter: 30 mm
- Overall length: 31 cm
- Indicated uses: endometrial sampling, D&C, uterine cavity debridement

Material & Construction
Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel with a corrosion-resistant finish suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. The malleable shaft retains reshaped contours intraoperatively yet can be restored for subsequent sterilization and use. Constructed for durability and repeatable performance in gynecologic procedures.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
