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 21/23 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Does this dilator feature a gradual taper design?

Yes, the Pratt pattern is specifically engineered with a more gradual taper than Hegar-style dilators. This geometry is designed to facilitate smoother, more controlled dilation during procedures.

Is this instrument built for long-term durability?

Absolutely. This dilator is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring it is robust enough for the demanding requirements of clinical environments and repeated use.

How does the double-ended design improve procedural efficiency?

The double-ended configuration is a significant time-saver. It provides you with two distinct sizes—21 Fr and 23 Fr—in a single, convenient instrument, reducing the number of tools required for the procedure.

Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?

Yes, this instrument is strictly not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring it is a safe option for your clinical environment.

How should this instrument be prepared before use?

This dilator is supplied non-sterile. It must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before it is utilized in any surgical procedure.

What is the specific geometry of the tips?

The dilator features smooth, rounded tips at both ends. This design is intentionally optimized to support minimally traumatic, progressive dilation of the uterine cavity.

Is this tool compliant with trade regulations?

Yes, this Sklar instrument is fully TAA compliant, meeting the necessary standards for government and institutional procurement.

Does this model include a depth stop cuff?

No, this Pratt pattern dilator does not feature a depth stop cuff. It offers a continuous, smooth surface designed for precision during D&C and D&E procedures.

What size standard is used for this dilator?

This instrument uses the French (Fr) unit of measurement. In this system, 1 Fr is equivalent to 1/3 millimeter of circumference, allowing for precise sizing during gynecological procedures.

Is there a long-term quality guarantee for this instrument?

Yes, Sklar backs this surgical instrument with a lifetime warranty, reflecting their commitment to the quality and longevity of the stainless steel construction.
