The OB/GYN 12 1/2″ Sims Uterine Sound is designed for gynecological procedures requiring controlled uterine assessment and measurement. It features a rigid construction, an overall length of 12 1/2 inches, and graduated centimeter markings for visual measurement reference.
The Sims-style configuration provides an elongated profile for controlled positioning within the intended clinical field. The graduated markings allow the clinician to observe the corresponding centimeter measurement during appropriate use.
Design and Configuration
The instrument features a 12 1/2-inch overall length with a rigid construction. Its graduated centimeter markings provide measurement references along the instrument, while the elongated design offers useful reach and manual control.
The rigid configuration provides a stable instrument profile during positioning and assessment. Before use, the sound should be inspected for proper alignment, surface integrity, cleanliness, and clearly visible graduations.
Working-End Characteristics
The working end is designed for controlled uterine sounding and assessment. The graduated cm markings provide visual reference points along the instrument to assist with measurement during compatible clinical applications.
The working surface should remain smooth and free from visible damage or deformation. The graduation markings should also remain clear and legible.
Gynecological Applications
The OB/GYN 12 1/2″ Sims Uterine Sound may be used for compatible gynecological procedures involving uterine assessment and measurement. The specific clinical application and method of use should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure and established clinical protocols.
Handling and Use Considerations
The rigid 12 1/2-inch design provides extended reach while maintaining a stable profile during handling. The instrument should be positioned and manipulated according to established clinical technique.
Before use, verify that the instrument is clean and that the shaft, working end, and centimeter graduations are free from visible damage. Do not use an instrument with significant deformation or unclear measurement markings.
Cleaning and Instrument Care
Clean the instrument promptly after use according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-cleaning procedure. Ensure that the complete surface is adequately cleaned, including areas around the graduated markings.
Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could damage the surface or reduce the clarity of the graduations. After cleaning, inspect the instrument for residue, corrosion, scratches, deformation, and legibility of the measurement markings.
Sterilization and Inspection
Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before each use, inspect the instrument for cleanliness, structural integrity, surface damage, and clearly readable centimeter graduations.
Any instrument showing compromised structural integrity or unclear measurement markings should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures.
