An immaculate and complete set of 11 Hegar uterine dilators, representing the pinnacle of mid-century Continental medical engineering. Thought to be of Swiss origin, these instruments feature an exceptionally high-quality chromium plating with a brilliant mirror finish.
 
The set provides a consecutive run of half-sizes, starting at 4.5mm and ascending to 14.5mm marked 4 5, 5 5, 6 5, 7 5, 8 5, 9 5, 10 5, 11 5, 12 5, 13 5, 14 5. Each piece is characterised by its rounded "bullet" tip and flat-milled handle end for ergonomic control. Unlike standard medical surplus, this set has been meticulously preserved, showing no signs of the typical wear or plating degradation associated with age. A superb acquisition for a specialist medical museum or a collector of high-precision surgical instrumentation.
 
Each instrument measures 20cm in length.
 
Uterine Dilators are inserted sequentially into the cervical canal, starting with the smallest size and gradually increasing to achieve the desired dilation for procedures such as dilatation and curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, or to relieve stenosis.
