The 8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator Double End 17/18 is a premium-quality gynecological instrument developed to provide safe, gradual, and effective cervical dilation during a wide range of obstetric and gynecological procedures. Featuring 17mm and 18mm tapered ends, this double-ended Hegar dilator enables healthcare professionals to perform sequential cervical dilation with precision while minimizing tissue trauma and ensuring smooth procedural progression.

Widely used by OB/GYN specialists, gynecologic surgeons, fertility experts, and other women’s healthcare professionals, the Hegar uterine dilator is an essential instrument for obtaining controlled access to the uterine cavity. The 8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator Double End 17/18 is commonly used during hysteroscopy, dilation and curettage (D&C), uterine exploration, endometrial biopsy, cervical stenosis management, and preparation for various intrauterine procedures. The 17mm and 18mm sizes are intended for the advanced stages of cervical dilation where larger diameters are required.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, this instrument is built to withstand repeated use in demanding clinical environments. The corrosion-resistant construction preserves its strength and dimensional accuracy even after multiple sterilization cycles, while the polished finish promotes smooth insertion and reduces friction during cervical dilation.

The instrument features gently tapered cylindrical tips with rounded ends that support gradual enlargement of the cervical canal. This carefully engineered design provides excellent tactile feedback, enabling clinicians to maintain precise control throughout the procedure while helping reduce unnecessary force. The smooth transition from the shaft to the dilating tips contributes to atraumatic performance and dependable clinical results.

Its double-ended configuration combines two sequential dilation sizes into a single instrument, allowing clinicians to progress efficiently without frequent instrument exchanges. This practical design improves workflow, reduces procedure time, and simplifies instrument organization in hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, fertility clinics, and private OB/GYN practices.

With an overall length of 8 inches, the dilator offers optimal reach, balance, and maneuverability. The ergonomic profile provides a secure grip for enhanced handling during delicate gynecological procedures, supporting clinician comfort and procedural accuracy.

The 8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator Double End 17/18 is fully reusable and compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its seamless stainless steel construction simplifies cleaning and maintenance while meeting modern infection control standards for repeated clinical use.

Combining precision engineering, exceptional durability, and dependable performance, the 8″ Hegar Uterine Dilator Double End 17/18 is a valuable addition to any professional OB/GYN instrument set. It delivers the quality and reliability healthcare professionals expect for safe and controlled cervical dilation.
