Clinical Application
Provides controlled cervical dilation and uterine access for common gynecologic procedures. The tapered profile allows gradual dilation to diameters within the 12–18 mm range to facilitate intrauterine procedures such as dilation and curettage, hysteroscopy introduction, IUD insertion, endometrial biopsy, and minor operative work in both office and ambulatory surgical settings. The atraumatic, rounded tip minimizes cervical trauma during passage and dilatation.
Design & Configuration
The straight, tapered shaft geometry permits progressive dilation as the instrument is advanced, enabling the clinician to achieve target cervical diameter without abrupt changes in profile. A smooth, highly polished surface reduces friction and eases passage through the cervical canal, lowering the risk of tissue snagging. The compact diameter range (12–18 mm) covers moderate dilation requirements commonly encountered in gynecologic procedures and is suitable for patients who require dilation beyond smaller primary dilators but not the largest diameters used in extensive surgical cases.
