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 45/47 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Is this instrument built to withstand repeated sterilization?

Yes. It is manufactured from high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel specifically engineered to endure the rigors of frequent cleaning and repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity.

Why would a surgeon prefer the Pratt design over Hegar?

The Pratt design is distinguished by a more gradual taper. This engineering allows for a significantly smoother and more controlled dilation process, which can be advantageous during delicate intrauterine procedures.

Does this medical instrument contain any latex?

No, the Sklar Pratt Uterine Dilator is completely latex-free, making it a safe choice for patients with sensitivities to natural rubber latex.

How is the instrument shaped for ease of use?

The dilator features a straight central body with a slight curvature at each end. This geometry is designed to provide better access and maneuverability during gynecological procedures.

Does this meet specific government procurement requirements?

Yes, this instrument is fully TAA compliant, meeting the Trade Agreements Act requirements necessary for many government and public institution procurement needs.

Does this arrive ready for the operating room?

It is supplied non-sterile. You will need to ensure the instrument undergoes your facility’s standard sterilization protocols prior to its first use in a surgical setting.

Does this dilator feature an insertion depth stop?

No, the Pratt design intentionally omits an insertion depth stop cuff. This provides the surgeon with greater flexibility and tactile control during the procedure compared to designs like Hank dilators.

How do I interpret the French sizing system?

The French (Fr) system measures the circumference of the tip. In this standard, 1 French unit is equal to 1/3 of a millimeter, allowing for precise, incremental sizing during the dilation process.

Is this a cost-effective choice for frequent clinical use?

Yes, as a reusable surgical instrument, it offers significant long-term value. Unlike disposable alternatives, this dilator is built for longevity and frequent reuse, making it a reliable staple for OB/GYN specialists.

How does the double-ended design improve procedural efficiency?

The double-ended configuration allows you to work with two distinct sizes (45 Fr and 47 Fr) on a single instrument. This efficiency reduces the number of tools on your tray and allows for a quicker transition between size increments.
