Sims Uterine Curette rig. sh 16mm 31cm Fig.8

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for gynecologic intrauterine procedures that require controlled scraping or removal of endometrial tissue. Common clinical uses include diagnostic and therapeutic endometrial curettage, sampling for histopathology, removal of retained products of conception, and adjunctive tissue removal during dilation and curettage (D&C) procedures. The 16 mm curetting surface provides a defined scooping edge for focused tissue sampling.

Design & Configuration

The rigid 31 cm shaft provides the reach and tactile feedback needed to access the uterine cavity during transvaginal procedures while maintaining shaft stability for precise manipulation. The Sims-style spoon-shaped tip concentrates force at the curetting edge to facilitate controlled scraping of the endometrial lining. The Fig. 8 designation identifies the specific tip geometry and manufacturer pattern used for consistent performance and clinician familiarity.
