Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) Instrument Set, 24 pieces

This set holds what a dilatation and curettage (D&C) needs, from exposure to sampling. The Auvard weighted speculum and the Graves speculum open the vagina. Two Schroeder tenacula hold the cervix steady while a graduated Simpson uterine sound measures the depth and direction of the uterus.

Eight double-ended Hegar dilators, from 3/4 to 17/18 mm, widen the cervix step by step. Sharp Sims curettes are used for diagnostic sampling and blunt ones for gentler evacuation, three of each. The Winter forceps removes tissue from the uterine cavity. Two sponge-holding forceps and a Bozeman dressing forceps handle swabs, and long tissue forceps complete the set.

The contents follow the D&C sets of Sialkot instrument makers and the MSF field kit. Supplied non-sterile: clean and sterilise before use.
