Dilator of Uterine Cervix

Details

Device typeHygroscopic cervical dilator: A sterile plug of expansible material intended to dilate the uterine cervix by gradually swelling to several times its original diameter through the absorption of moisture from the cervix over a period of several hours (typically <24 hours). It is made of synthetic polymer and/or plant-derived materials and typically has features (e.g., attached cord, handle) intended to assist anchoring, locating, and easy removal. The device is typically used to dilate the cervical canal for uterine curettage, labour induction, midterm abortions, intrauterine device (IUD) placement and removal, and radium placement. This is a single-use device.
