Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 11.5mm

Clinical Application

Used to achieve controlled mechanical cervical dilation to an 11.5 mm diameter prior to intrauterine procedures. Common clinical uses include progressive cervical preparation for dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy introduction, IUD placement when larger dilation is required, and other gynecologic interventions where atraumatic dilatation of the cervical canal is necessary. Often employed as part of a sequential set of graduated dilators to minimize cervico‑uterine trauma.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended, cylindrical taper geometry provides a smooth, gradually increasing profile to dilate the internal os with minimal resistance. A rounded, atraumatic tip reduces the risk of cervical laceration while the solid shank delivers the rigidity needed for controlled advancement and tactile feedback. The single-ended configuration offers a defined working end with a flared handle or thumb stop for secure manual control during rotation and gentle axial pressure.
