Clinical Application
Used to achieve controlled mechanical dilation of the cervical canal to a target diameter of 25.5 mm. Employed in gynecologic procedures where access to the uterine cavity is required, including dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy setup, removal of intrauterine pathology, and management of cervical stenosis. Typically used as part of a serial dilation sequence to incrementally increase cervical diameter while monitoring tissue resistance and patient response.
Design & Configuration
The straight, single-ended tapered cylindrical geometry provides predictable radial expansion with progressive insertion. A smooth, rounded tip facilitates atraumatic passage through the cervical os and reduces risk of laceration. The solid rod construction delivers direct tactile feedback to the operator, enabling controlled force application and precise sizing during dilation maneuvers. The single-ended format is frequently used where a consistent working length and simple handling are preferred.

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel with precision-ground tapering and polished finish to minimize tissue drag. Designed for reuse and compatible with standard sterilization methods (autoclave). The polished surface aids cleaning and reduces adherence of biological material.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
