8 Hegar Uterine Dilator double end 17/18

Practical Double-Ended Access for Controlled Uterine Dilation

The 8" Hegar Uterine Dilator double end 17/18 is a general surgery instrument designed for uterine and cervical dilation tasks. Its double-ended configuration provides two related dilator sizes in one instrument, supporting an orderly workflow when sequential sizing is required. The 8" overall length offers a familiar format for instrument handling and access during procedures. As part of the Dilator & Probes category, it is suited to clinicians who need a focused tool for dilation and probing applications. Its straightforward design supports clear identification at the field and practical transitions between the 17 and 18 ends.

Use Cases
