It is made of synthetic polymer and/or plant-derived materials and typically has features (e.g., attached cord, handle) intended to assist anchoring, locating, and easy removal. The device is typically used to dilate the cervical canal for uterine curettage, labour induction, midterm abortions, intrauterine device (IUD) placement and removal, and radium placement.
