Description

Sklar's Pratt Uterine Dilator is a double-ended OB/GYN instrument used for progressive dilation of the uterus. It is most frequently used during intrauterine procedures such as D&C and D&E. The size of these dilators is determined by the circumference of the tip and measured in French units, with one French unit equalling 1/3mm. Pratt dilators are available in several sizes. Each dilator has two different size tips. In comparison to other intrauterine dilators, Pratt dilators taper more gradually and are slightly lighter than Hegar dilators. They do not have a cuff to serve as a stop for depth of insertion such as featured on Hank dilators. The instrument is straight in the middle, slightly curved at each end, with a smooth, rounded tip. This product is a size 17/19 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Pratt design offer more precise dilation?

Yes, the Pratt design is specifically engineered for gradual, controlled dilation. Compared to other styles like the Hegar dilator, the Pratt taper is more gradual, allowing for finer precision during gynecological procedures.

Is this instrument made of durable materials?

Absolutely. It is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring longevity, robustness, and the ability to withstand repeated use in demanding clinical environments.

How does the dual-ended design improve clinical workflow?

The double-ended configuration allows surgeons to switch between 17 Fr and 19 Fr sizes instantly using a single instrument. This enhances procedural efficiency by reducing the number of individual tools required on the surgical tray.

Is this dilator safe for patients with latex sensitivities?

Yes, this instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex allergies.

What is the correct way to prepare this for surgery?

The Sklar Pratt Uterine Dilator is shipped non-sterile. Before use, it must undergo standard hospital-grade sterilization processes to ensure it meets clinical safety requirements.

Does this model include a depth-stop cuff?

No, this specific Pratt-style dilator does not include a depth-stop cuff. It is designed with a smooth, rounded tip and a consistent, slightly curved profile to facilitate smooth navigation.

How does the weight compare to other dilators?

The Pratt dilator is intentionally crafted to be slightly lighter than Hegar dilators, providing a comfortable and balanced feel in the hand during extended procedures.

Is this product suitable for government medical facilities?

Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring that it meets the strict procurement requirements for use in government and federally-supported medical facilities.

What is the standard measurement for these tips?

The sizes are measured in the French (Fr) scale, where 1 French unit is equal to 1/3mm in circumference. This model provides a transition between 17 Fr and 19 Fr sizing.

Is this a one-time use instrument?

No, this is a reusable surgical instrument. It is built for repeated sterilization and long-term use in clinical settings, and it is backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty for your peace of mind.
