Yes, uterine dilators made from medical-grade stainless steel are fully sterilizable and reusable, making them ideal for clinical use.

5. Which type of uterine dilator is best for D&C procedures?

Both Hegar and Hank dilators are commonly used, but Hegar dilators are often preferred for standard D&C due to their simple, straight design.
