Product catalog summary
Product Overview
MedGyn Laminaria is a natural, disposable, and sterile cervical dilator made from an aquatic plant, ensuring it is 100% biodegradable. It has been safely used for over a century to provide gradual cervical dilation.

Features & Benefits
Laminaria is gentler than traditional cervical dilators, offering maximum comfort as it dilates the cervix over hours or days. It absorbs liquid and swells to several times its initial diameter, allowing for additional Laminaria to be inserted until the desired width is achieved. It is ideal for patients sensitive to metals or plastics and is available in various sizes and lengths, with an option for a button to prevent over-insertion.

Product Variants
- Standard Length (approx. 60mm): Sizes range from #2 Small Thin to #10 Extra Jumbo.
- Extra Long (approx. 70mm): Sizes range from #4 Long to #8 Long, with options for a long string.
- With Button: Sizes range from #2 Extra Small to #6 Extra Large.

Applications
Laminaria is recommended for cervical dilation and softening in cases such as cervical stenosis, gradual induction of labor, reducing uterine perforation risk during hysteroscopy, alleviating cervical stenosis, easing insertion and removal of intrauterine devices, facilitating radium insertion, dysmenorrhea, and minimizing pain prior to endometrial or uterine procedures.
