Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic procedures that require controlled scraping or debridement of the endometrial surface and intrauterine tissue removal. The sharp tip is intended for diagnostic endometrial sampling (biopsy), dilatation and curettage (D&C) and for removal of retained products of conception or small polypoid tissue. The malleable shaft enables customized shaping to follow uterine curvature and access posterior or anterior aspects of the cavity through a cervical canal.
Design & Configuration
The malleable shaft permits the clinician to contour the instrument to patient anatomy, improving reach and line-of-sight while working through a speculum or cervical dilator. A sharp curette edge provides cutting and scooping action for efficient tissue collection with direct tactile feedback. The 25 cm working length offers extended reach for intrauterine work while maintaining control at the handle.
