Hegar Uterine Dilator, 1.5–30 mm

## Overview

The Hegar Uterine Dilator is a Hegar uterine dilator used for progressive dilation of the cervical canal in gynecological procedures. It carries the Hegar pattern, a named instrument pattern within the dilators range. This listing represents the complete Hegar Uterine Dilator product family, offered as a configurable range of variations that share a common design and differ in defined, printed characteristics. It is classified under Dilators › Uterine Dilator and is intended for use by trained surgical and clinical personnel. All specifications below are taken directly from the manufacturer catalog; characteristics that are not stated in the catalog are omitted rather than assumed.

## Instrument Class and Clinical Role

Uterine dilators are used to progressively enlarge the cervical canal so that instruments can be passed into the uterine cavity. Dilators are introduced in ascending size so that the canal is opened gradually and atraumatically. Instruments of this class are defined principally by their diameter, which corresponds to the degree of dilation, together with tip form and length.

## Pattern and Identification

This instrument is supplied in the Hegar pattern. Within a surgical inventory, the pattern name together with the Aesculap catalog reference number uniquely identifies the item, which supports accurate reordering and standardisation across a department. Every variation in this family is listed with its own catalog reference so that a specific configuration can be ordered without ambiguity.

## Design and Configuration

Available length options are 185 mm and 195 mm. The available lengths allow the instrument to be matched to the working depth of the operative field. Available diameter options are 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 6.5 mm, 7 mm, 7.5 mm, 8.5 mm, 9 mm, 9.5 mm, 10.5 mm, 11 mm, 11.5 mm, 12.5 mm, 13 mm, 13.5 mm, 14.5 mm, 15 mm, 15.5 mm, 16.5 mm, 17 mm, 17.5 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, and 26 mm. The range of diameters corresponds to the degree of dilation or the calibre required, allowing the instrument to be matched to the anatomy.

## Applications

Consistent with its design as a Hegar uterine dilator used for progressive dilation of the cervical canal in gynecological procedures, the Hegar Uterine Dilator is applied in gynecological procedures. The scope described here is limited to the definitional function of the instrument class; the specific procedures, techniques and patient selection for which the instrument is appropriate are a matter of clinical judgement and institutional protocol and should be determined by the operating clinician. No performance, outcome or suitability claims are made beyond the instrument’s stated design.

## Material, Finish and Reprocessing

The manufacturer catalog data underlying this listing does not state the material, surface finish or reprocessing parameters for the item, and these are therefore not asserted here. Confirm material specifications, compatibility and validated reprocessing instructions with the supplier or manufacturer documentation before purchase or use.

## Procurement and Standardisation

Because every item is identified by a stable Aesculap catalog reference number, this listing supports consistent reordering and inventory standardisation across an operating department. Recording the pattern name together with the reference number allows procurement teams to match replacement stock to instruments already in service and to compare like-for-like items between suppliers. Availability, minimum order requirements and lead times are confirmed on inquiry.
