Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 1.0mm

Clinical Application

Used to perform controlled mechanical dilation of the cervical canal as part of gynecologic procedures. The small 1.0 mm diameter instrument is intended for initial cervical passage or for use in patients with a stenotic or tightly closed cervix, allowing gradual up-sizing with subsequent dilators. Common procedural contexts include dilation and curettage, preparation for hysteroscopy, intrauterine device insertion/removal, and office-based cervical assessment or instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended, straight rod design provides a continuous, gently tapered profile that converts axial advance into uniform radial dilation. The blunt, smooth cylindrical tip minimizes mucosal trauma while affording tactile feedback to the operator, enabling controlled incremental dilation. A single-ended configuration simplifies handling and sterilization while allowing the clinician to maintain consistent orientation during passage.
