Simon Uterine Scoop Sharp
Product Code : EL-SI-10955
Quick answer: The Simon uterine scoop, sharp, is a gynaecological spoon instrument used to remove retained products of conception from the uterus. Unlike the fenestrated Sims curette, its 12 mm oval spoon is solid, so it holds and brings out the tissue it lifts. It has a rigid 25 cm shaft and is made of martensitic steel. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for hospitals, clinics and medical colleges.

How it is used
In the surgical management of incomplete miscarriage or retained placental tissue, the cervix is first dilated and the scoop is then introduced into the uterine cavity. The sharp rim of the oval spoon separates retained tissue from the uterine wall, and the solid bowl of the spoon carries it out of the cavity as the instrument is withdrawn.
The rigid shank gives the surgeon direct control over the pressure applied, and the 25 cm shaft provides the reach needed for uterine access.
The scoop is commonly laid up with a Sims uterine curette (EL-SI-10954) and Hegar dilators (EL-SI-10956) in a uterine evacuation set, so the surgeon can switch between a solid and a fenestrated spoon as the case requires.
