Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 15.0mm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled mechanical dilation of the cervical canal to a known diameter during gynecologic and obstetric procedures. Common uses include cervical preparation for dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy access, IUD insertion when cervical dilation is indicated, and other minor uterine procedures where atraumatic, measured dilation is required. The 15.0 mm diameter is used as a specific step in graduated dilation sequences to achieve the required canal width while minimizing cervical trauma.

Design & Configuration

The single-ended Hegar design is a solid, smooth cylindrical rod with a tapered, rounded tip to facilitate atraumatic entry through the cervical os. The single-ended configuration provides a consistent tactile feel during advancement and removal, helping clinicians sense tissue resistance and control dilation force. The polished surface reduces friction and helps minimize cervical injury during sequential dilations.
