The Simpson Uterine Sound is a premium-quality, stainless steel instrument designed to measure the depth, direction, and curvature of the uterine cavity. It is widely used in gynaecological procedures such as IUD placement, dilation & curettage (D&C), hysteroscopy, and fertility assessments. Its firm, slender structure ensures precision and minimal patient discomfort.
