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 37/39 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Is this dilator designed for a more gradual dilation process?

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?

No, the Pratt design does not include an integrated cuff or stop mechanism. Unlike Hank dilators, this design is focused on smooth, continuous movement without obstruction from a stop.
