Horrocks Uterine Sound 32cm S/P

Clinical Application

This instrument is used to determine the depth and orientation of the uterine cavity and cervical canal prior to or during gynecologic procedures. Common applications include measuring uterine length before intrauterine device (IUD) placement, confirming uterine position during diagnostic or operative hysteroscopy, and guiding dilators or curettes during transcervical procedures. The atraumatic tip minimizes tissue injury during passage through the cervical canal.

Design & Configuration

The probe-style, single-ended configuration provides a straight, rigid shaft for controlled advancement and tactile feedback when negotiating the cervical canal. The extended 32 cm length offers additional reach and control for clinicians who require a longer instrument for specific procedural workflows or when working through adjunct devices. The rounded, atraumatic tip reduces the risk of perforation and helps the clinician identify the uterine fundus by gentle contact.
