The Hank Uterine Dilator 6.5mm 7mm (13 14) is a precision-engineered gynecological instrument used by OB/GYN specialists, gynecologic surgeons, and healthcare professionals for controlled cervical dilation. Designed with dual-ended dilating tips measuring 6.5mm and 7mm (Sizes 13/14), this instrument allows clinicians to progressively dilate the cervical canal with accuracy while minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma.
Hank uterine dilators are widely recognized for their role in modern gynecological practice. They are commonly utilized during diagnostic uterine evaluations, hysteroscopy, dilation and curettage (D&C), endometrial biopsy, intrauterine device (IUD) insertion or removal, cervical stenosis management, and other procedures requiring gradual cervical access. The double-ended design enables two dilation sizes in a single instrument, improving procedural efficiency and reducing the need for multiple instrument exchanges.
Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the Hank Uterine Dilator 6.5mm 7mm (13 14) offers exceptional resistance to corrosion, staining, and wear. Its seamless one-piece construction enhances strength while simplifying cleaning and sterilization, making it suitable for repeated use in hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, gynecology clinics, and physician offices.
Each dilating tip features a smooth, rounded profile that facilitates gentle insertion into the cervical canal. The polished surface minimizes friction during progressive dilation, helping reduce patient discomfort while supporting controlled advancement. The gradual transition between shaft and tip provides enhanced tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to perform cervical dilation with greater confidence and precision.
The instrument is carefully balanced to provide a comfortable grip and excellent maneuverability throughout the procedure. Its ergonomic design enables healthcare professionals to maintain optimal control, even during delicate gynecological interventions where precision is essential.
The 6.5mm and 7mm (13/14) sizes are commonly selected as intermediate dilation stages during sequential cervical dilation. When used as part of a graduated set of Hank dilators, they help create a smooth progression from smaller to larger diameters, reducing resistance and promoting atraumatic cervical access.
Routine maintenance is simple due to the instrument’s premium stainless steel construction. After each procedure, it can be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized using standard steam autoclave protocols without compromising its structural integrity or polished finish. This durability ensures long-term reliability in demanding clinical environments.
The Hank Uterine Dilator 6.5mm 7mm (13 14) remains an essential instrument in gynecology and obstetrics, combining precision engineering, dependable performance, and exceptional durability. Its dual-ended configuration, smooth tapered design, and reusable construction make it a valuable addition to any professional OB/GYN surgical instrument collection.
