Clinical Application
This set provides a complete sequence of Hegar cervical dilators intended to permit controlled, graded mechanical dilation of the cervix during gynecologic procedures. Common uses include cervical preparation for dilation & evacuation (D/E), hysteroscopy, endometrial sampling, IUD insertion in select cases, and other procedures that require progressive dilation. The wide size range supports gradual, tactile dilation to reduce risk of cervical trauma and allow precise sizing for the planned intervention.
Design & Configuration
The set includes a series of consecutively sized, smoothly contoured cylindrical dilators supplied together in a pouch for organized storage and transport. The graduated sizing facilitates incremental dilation with clear tactile feedback, enabling the operator to advance one size at a time and assess tissue resistance. Polished, atraumatic tip geometry and a smooth shaft reduce friction and minimize iatrogenic injury during insertion and removal. A pouch configuration keeps the set together for sterile processing and easy selection of sequential sizes intraoperatively.
