A rod-like, solid surgical instrument designed to dilate the cervical canal after its insertion through the cervical os. Commonly known as a uterine dilator, it is typically made of metal or plastic material and has a tapered, rounded distal tip. It may have one diameter or two different size diameters, one at each end of the instrument. The device is typically available in a set of graduated sizes that are applied in succession. It is used to allow the passage of a curette or other instruments into the uterus and/or enlarge the uterus prior to surgical intervention by pressing on the inner walls of the uterus. This is a reusable device.
