8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator – Double Ended 17/18

The 8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator Double Ended 17/18 is a precision gynecology instrument used for the gradual enlargement of the cervical canal to facilitate access to the uterine cavity. It is widely utilized in hospitals, gynecology clinics, surgical centers, and women’s healthcare facilities for a variety of diagnostic and operative procedures. Featuring a double-ended design with sizes 17 and 18 , this instrument allows clinicians to perform progressive cervical dilation using two sequential diameters in a single tool. This design enhances procedural efficiency while reducing the need to switch between multiple dilators. The smooth, rounded, and tapered ends are engineered to provide gentle insertion and controlled cervical expansion while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. The graduated sizing supports safe and accurate dilation during gynecological interventions. Hegar uterine dilators are commonly used during dilation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy procedures, uterine exploration, and other OB/GYN interventions requiring cervical access. The 8-inch length offers an ideal balance of reach, maneuverability, and control, allowing healthcare professionals to perform procedures with confidence and precision. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting reliability. It is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles without compromising performance. The mirror-polished finish reduces friction during insertion and supports efficient cleaning and sterilization. Its ergonomic design ensures secure handling and enhanced procedural accuracy. Fully autoclavable and reusable, the Hegar Uterine Dilator Double Ended 17/18 is an essential instrument for modern gynecological practice.
