Forced dilation of the uterine cervix is the most frequent intervention in gynecology
Cervix has specific and very sensitive
protective function
It is probably impossible to stimulate it for gentle dilatation due to the complexity of the jobs this small guardian is involved.
Cervix secures the women
reproductive health
and the wellbeing of the fetus
Despite its importance for women health, the primary approach to cervix dilatation is by use of metal dilators, developed as back as 1879 by German gynecologist Alfred Hegar.
Is such approach to cervix dilation
safe enough?
Hegar dilators are the most common approach to cervix dilation today, although there is substantial evidence on the risks and lasting consequences for the women reproductive health.
Are such risks really acceptable?
Or there is no better approach, despite all technological progress?
Dilatations systematically cause bleeding of varying severity (1)
Dilations cause lacerations and/or false routes with lasting consequences (1)
Dilatations can cause uterine perforations, endangering patient (2.9% of cases) (2)

Those unavoidable consequences precedes to later functional cervix incompetence
and various tissue damages.
