Before the uterus can be evacuated, the cervical canal has to be opened wide enough for a curette or scoop to pass. The clinician inserts the dilators one after another, starting with the smallest diameter and stepping up gradually until the canal accepts the instrument that will be used. The rounded, smooth ends are made to be non-traumatic.
Because each instrument carries a dilator at both ends, the set of 8 covers 16 diameters while taking up little space in its canvas roll, and the austenitic steel is non-magnetic. Gynaecology departments can order the dilator set together with a uterine sound, cervical forceps and curettes. Check the roll after each use so that every size is returned to its place.
ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, trades; the company sources and supplies the Hegar dilator set for hospitals, maternity units, medical colleges, distributors and importers in India and international markets.
