Hegar Uterine Dilators S/E 24.5mm

Clinical Application

Designed for mechanical cervical dilation, this Hegar dilator facilitates progressive enlargement of the cervical canal to permit passage of instruments and scopes. It is commonly used to prepare the cervix for dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy, intrauterine device insertion, and other diagnostic or operative gynecologic procedures where controlled, tactile dilation is required. The 24.5 mm diameter provides a definitive step in graduated dilation protocols and is selected based on procedural needs and patient anatomy.

Design & Configuration

The straight, slightly tapered cylindrical shaft with a rounded atraumatic tip permits controlled advancement through the cervical os while minimizing tissue snagging. The single-ended configuration (S/E) simplifies handling when a single working diameter is required and can reduce instrument changes during a case. A smooth polished surface decreases friction during insertion and supports predictable, sequential dilation when used with smaller preceding sizes.
