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 57/59 French dilator.

Frequently asked questions

Does this dilator offer more gradual tapering than Hegar models?

Yes, the Pratt pattern is specifically engineered with a more gradual taper compared to Hegar dilators. This design allows for more controlled and systematic uterine dilation during procedures.

Is this instrument built for long-term clinical use?

Absolutely. This dilator is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, making it a durable, reusable instrument designed to withstand repeated sterilization and clinical use.

How are the sizes measured for this dilator?

This model utilizes the French (Fr) scale, where 1 French unit is equivalent to 1/3mm in circumference. This specific instrument features a dual-tip configuration of 57 Fr and 59 Fr.

Does this model include a stop to limit insertion depth?

No, unlike Hank dilators, the Pratt dilator does not incorporate a cuff or stop. It features a straight central section with slight curvatures at both ends, designed for precision control.

Does the instrument require specialized handling during sterilization?

As a stainless steel, reusable surgical instrument, it is designed to endure standard sterilization protocols. However, it ships non-sterile, so it must undergo appropriate sterilization processes before its first clinical use.

The instrument features smooth, rounded tips at both ends. This design is specifically intended to facilitate gentle and controlled insertion during OB/GYN procedures.

Is this a solid, single-piece construction?
