A hysterometer also known as a uterine sound is a graduated instrument used to measure the depth of the uterine cavity. SMB Corporation of India, a leading medical device manufacturing company, presents a series of high-grade probe/hysterometers suitable for addressing diverse needs among health practitioners.
What is a Probe / Hysterometer?
A tool used to assess the depth of the uterine cavity and to determine the position and direction of the uterus (e.g., anteverted or retroverted).
1. Cheron Forceps
Procedures including endometrial sampling, and intrauterine device (IUD) insertion depend on the measurement of depth and direction of uterus.
An accurate assessment of the uterine cavity lowers the possibility of problems and ensures the success of such treatments.

Significance in Gynaecological Procedures
Hysterometers are used in gynaecology and are particularly suitable for procedures of cervix dilation before following
- IUD Insertion: Accurate uterine depth measurement guarantees appropriate device placement, increasing efficacy and lowering expulsion risk.
- Endometrial Sampling: Measurements of the uterine cavity help get enough tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
- Hysteroscopy: Pre-operation uterine depth and direction measurements guarantee safe and appropriate hysteroscope implantation, minimising procedure difficulties and patient pain.
- Fertility Tests: Understanding the architecture of the uterus is crucial for diagnosing and treating infertility issues.
