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 13/15 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Does the design support a gentler dilation process?

Yes. The Pratt pattern is specifically engineered for progressive dilation. It features a more gradual taper compared to other dilator types like the Hegar, which allows for a smoother and more controlled approach during procedures.

Is this instrument built for long-term clinical use?

Absolutely. It is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring the durability and reliability required for a professional surgical environment. It is designed to be fully reusable following standard sterilization protocols.

How does this compare to a Hank dilator?

The primary difference is the design of the shaft. Unlike Hank dilators, the Sklar Pratt dilator does not feature an insertion depth stop cuff, allowing for more flexibility in technique during uterine access.

Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for use in sensitive clinical environments.

What is the benefit of the double-ended design?

The double-ended configuration enhances procedural efficiency. By providing two distinct sizes (29 Fr and 31 Fr) on a single instrument, it simplifies tool management and reduces the number of items required during a procedure.

Is this product suitable for government medical facilities?

Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, which meets the necessary requirements for government procurement and institutional medical supply chains.

How are the sizes measured for this dilator?

The sizing follows the French (Fr) unit system, where one French unit is equal to 1/3 millimeter. This standardized system ensures precise and consistent diameter increments for clinical accuracy.

Is the instrument heavy to handle during procedures?

No, it is designed to be lightweight. Its construction is intentionally lighter than standard Hegar dilators, which helps reduce hand fatigue during delicate or sequential dilation procedures.

Does it come ready to use right out of the box?

The instrument is supplied non-sterile. It must undergo your facility’s established sterilization protocols prior to its first use and between every subsequent procedure to ensure patient safety.

Are the tips designed to minimize tissue trauma?

Yes, the tips are engineered with smooth, rounded contours. This specific geometry is intended to facilitate safer and more comfortable insertion while maintaining the necessary precision for D&C and D&E procedures.
