Clinical Application
This instrument is designed for mechanical curettage of the uterine cavity. It is used in gynecologic and obstetric procedures such as diagnostic or therapeutic dilation & curettage, endometrial sampling, and removal of retained products of conception. The extended 31 cm length provides additional reach for cases where deeper intrauterine access or working through extended cervical channels is required.
Design & Configuration
The long, rigid shaft transmits tactile feedback to the operator for controlled tissue engagement and scraping. The slim profile facilitates passage through the cervical canal with minimal dilation, while the distal curetting element is configured to remove endometrial tissue effectively during manual curettage. The proximal handle is sized for secure manual control during rotational or sweeping motions commonly used in curettage procedures.
