Hegar Uterine Dilator D/E 11/12mm

Clinical Application

This double-ended Hegar uterine dilator is intended to provide controlled, gradual cervical dilation to allow uterine access in common gynecologic procedures. The 11/12 mm sizing corresponds to a moderate dilation step commonly used during dilation & curettage, hysteroscopy setup, intrauterine device placement, and when gently dilating a stenotic cervical os. Its configuration supports use in both outpatient clinic and operating room settings where reliable, reusable dilation instruments are required.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended design places two adjacent Hegar sizes on a single instrument, reducing instrument exchanges and simplifying procedure setup. Each end features a smooth, slightly tapered cylindrical tip to permit gradual dilation with minimal tissue trauma and reduced snagging. The straight shaft geometry gives tactile feedback and controlled insertion depth during progressive dilation maneuvers.
