Clinical Application
Designed for gynecologic procedures that require controlled scraping or evacuation of the uterine cavity. Common uses include diagnostic endometrial sampling, dilation and curettage (D&C), removal of retained products of conception, and targeted debridement of the endometrium. The combination of sharp and blunt ends supports both tissue acquisition for pathology and gentle cavity clearance during the same procedure.
Design & Configuration
The Sims curette geometry features a slightly concave, spoon-shaped working profile that conforms to the uterine cavity. The double-ended (D/E) sharp/blunt configuration provides immediate access to a sharp scraping edge for efficient tissue removal and a blunt/spoon end for atraumatic debridement or final cavity smoothing without instrument change. A 25 cm overall length affords reach appropriate for a range of uterine anatomies while maintaining tactile feedback for controlled curettage.
