Sims Uterine Sound, Curved, Malleable, Bulb-Headed Tip, 4 mm Diameter, 33 cm
Part No.: MS-NO-059
Manufacturer: Manning Surgical
Country of Origin: United Kingdom
The Sims Uterine Sound is a specialized gynaecological diagnostic instrument engineered for precise intrauterine sounding and depth measurement prior to instrumentation. Featuring a malleable 33 cm shank and a 4 mm diameter, this curved probe allows clinicians to gently conform the instrument to the specific anatomical contours of the patient’s cervical canal and uterine cavity. It is primarily utilized to assess the depth, length, and axis of the uterus—a critical step before procedures such as intrauterine device (IUD) insertion, dilation and curettage (D&C), or uterine ablation. The distal bulb-headed tip is specifically blunted to minimize the risk of accidental uterine perforation or soft tissue trauma during insertion, ensuring optimal patient safety and accurate clinical evaluation in both anteverted and retroverted uterine positions.
Features:
- Bulb-Headed Safety Tip: Designed with a smooth, rounded distal bulb that prevents piercing injuries to the uterine wall and minimizes trauma to cervical and mucosal tissues.
- Malleable Shaft: Crafted from flexible stainless steel, enabling customized contouring to match the patient's unique uterine axis (anteverted or retroverted).
- Fine Laser-Etched Graduations: Features precise depth markings along the working end for accurate measurement of intrauterine cavity length.
- Extended Reach: A total length of 33 cm and a slender 4 mm diameter shaft facilitate easy navigation through the vaginal canal and cervix.
- Ergonomic Solid Handle: Provides superior tactile feedback and firm grip, allowing the surgeon precise control during uterine sounding.
- Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel: Constructed from premium-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a satin finish to eliminate glare under operating room lighting; fully autoclavable and reusable.
