Clinical Application
Used to achieve controlled mechanical dilation of the cervix prior to intrauterine procedures. The 19.0 mm diameter is selected when a larger cervical canal is required to accommodate operative instruments, suction curettes, hysteroscopes, or prosthetic devices. Common procedural contexts include dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy, operative hysteroscopy set-ups, and other gynecologic interventions where atraumatic, predictable dilation is required.
Design & Configuration
The straight, single-ended rod geometry with a gently tapered, rounded tip provides smooth entry and progressive dilation while minimizing cervical trauma. Single-ended dilators offer precise, single-diameter control and clear tactile feedback to the operator during insertion. The polished shaft reduces friction and tissue adherence, facilitating atraumatic passage and easy withdrawal.
