Sims Uterine Curette mal. bl 5mm 31cm Fig.00

Clinical Application

Designed for gynecologic procedures requiring mechanical curettage of the uterine lining. This instrument is commonly used during diagnostic and therapeutic dilation and curettage (D&C), removal of retained products of conception, and targeted endometrial sampling. The blunt curetting edge enables tissue collection while reducing the risk of sharp trauma; use is typically performed after appropriate cervical dilation under direct or ultrasound-assisted guidance as indicated.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft allows the operator to contour the instrument to match patient anatomy and uterine position, improving access to the uterine cavity in anteverted or retroverted uteri. A 5 mm blunt-tip curette provides a larger working surface for effective tissue removal while minimizing laceration risk compared with sharp curettes. The 31 cm overall length offers extended reach for a range of uterine sizes and body habitus, supporting confident intrauterine access during procedures.
