Anatomical Dilator

An anatomical dilator is used in surgical procedures to gently widen narrow anatomical openings like the uterine cervix, anal canal, and urethra, facilitating the passage of medical instruments into the uterus, rectum, or bladder.

  1. General Details

    A dilator designed for use in gynecological, rectal, or urological procedures to gently dilate stenotic anatomical orifices like the uterine cervix, anal canal, and urethra.

    Key Features

    • Expandable Tubular Member
      The dilator features a tubular member that transitions from a closed state for insertion into a stenotic orifice to an open state, forming a passageway for surgical instruments.
    • Nitinol Core and Activation Mechanism
      The inner metallic core is composed of nitinol wires, with a string extending through the tubular member to prevent unintended dilation. Activating the string releases the wires, allowing the tubular member to expand and provide unobstructed access.
    • Soft, Resilient Material
      The external material of the tubular member is soft, absorbent, and resilient, minimizing trauma during dilation and ensuring gentle expansion of the orifice.
    • Variable Wire Tension
      The wires have varying tension strengths and sizes to maintain a cylindrical shape in the dilated state, enabling the passage of medical instruments.
    • Integrated Measurement and Finder
      The string features a blunt tip and measuring lines, serving both as a finder for structured orifices and a tool for measuring bodily cavities, such as the uterine cavity.
