Frequently asked questions
Is this dilator designed for a more gradual dilation process?
Yes, the Pratt design is specifically engineered for progressive, gradual dilation. Compared to Hegar dilators, the Pratt model features a smoother taper, which helps ensure a more controlled and gentle experience during procedures.
Is the material durable enough for repeated surgical use?
Absolutely. This instrument is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, making it exceptionally durable and fully capable of withstanding the rigors of repeated sterilization and surgical use.
Does this tool offer versatility with different tip sizes?
Yes, it is highly versatile. This is a double-ended instrument, meaning you get two distinct sizing options—37 French (Fr) and 39 French (Fr)—on a single tool, streamlining your tray setup.
Are there any natural rubber latex components?
No. This instrument is manufactured without natural rubber latex, ensuring it meets safety standards for patient care and is suitable for use with latex-sensitive patients.
Does the instrument feature a stop mechanism?
