- Precise and essential gynecological instrument
- Used to accurately measure and assess the uterine cavity's depth and orientation
Applications:
- Crucial diagnostic and preparatory instrument used in obstetrics and gynecology
- Primary purpose is to measure the depth and determine the orientation/position of the uterine cavity
- This information is vital before various procedures, including:
- To ensure the correct size and placement of the IUD and to minimize perforation risk
- To assess the uterine depth before dilation and curettage procedures
- To guide the hysteroscope and assess the uterine cavity's dimensions
- Graduated in centimeters along its shaft
- These markings allow the clinician to precisely read the depth of the uterus once the sound is inserted
- The shaft of the uterine sound is designed to be malleable
- This allows the clinician to gently conform the sound to the natural curvature of the patient's uterus
- Makes insertion safer and more comfortable, and reducing the risk of uterine perforation
- Has a curved tip which aids in navigating the cervical canal and uterine cavity
Key Features:
- Measures uterine depth and position
- Graduated in centimeters
- Malleable
