V. Mueller GL2360 Kahn Uterine Trigger Cannula w/ Smith & Nephew Tray

V. Mueller Kahn Uterine Trigger Cannula Set | GL2360 | S&N Sterilization Tray

The V. Mueller GL2360 Kahn Uterine Trigger Cannula is a precision instrument engineered for the 2026 requirements of diagnostic gynecology. It is specifically designed for the administration of radiographic dyes  during hysterosalpingography (HSG) and tubal patency tests.

Featuring a unique "trigger-squeeze" mechanism, the GL2360 allows the clinician to seal the cervix without the need for traditional dilation or sounding. By pulling the cannula into the cervix while a tenaculum secures the cervical lip over the obturator, this system provides a leak-proof seal that is essential for accurate intrauterine pressure and clear diagnostic imaging.

Key Performance Features

• Trigger-Squeeze Sealing: Facilitates a secure, one-handed cervical seal. This technique minimizes patient discomfort by eliminating the mechanical dilation typically required for standard cannulas.

• Tapered Obturator Design: Optimized for easy insertion into the external os, providing a snug fit that prevents dye backflow during high-pressure insufflation.

• Multi-Component Accessory Kit: This lot includes specialized attachment hardware, including a knurled accessory handle for enhanced grip and curved arm components for tailored positioning.

• Protective Rubber Acorn Guards: Includes both large and small black rubber "acorns" which serve as the primary cervical seal, ensuring compatibility with varying patient anatomies.

• Smith & Nephew 7208209 Tray: A high-durability, multi-purpose sterilization tray with a secure lid and perforated base. It is engineered to protect the rigid shaft of the cannula from bending or torque during the high-pressure environment of a steam autoclave.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: The airtight seal produced by the trigger mechanism ensures that dyes or gases are directed entirely into the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes, reducing "false negative" results caused by cervical leakage.

• Organized SPD Workflow: The Smith & Nephew tray provides a dedicated footprint for the cannula and its small fasteners, drastically reducing the risk of lost parts during the decontamination and tray-assembly process.

• Patient Comfort: The ability to perform patency checks without sounding or dilation significantly reduces procedural trauma and post-operative cramping for the patient.

• Strategic Procurement: Acquiring this "Really Good Condition" set provides a high-end V. Mueller diagnostic tool and a professional S&N sterilization solution at a fraction of the cost of new-generation single-use manipulators.

Ideal Applications

• Reproductive Endocrinology: Hysterosalpingography (HSG) and tubal patency assessments.

• General Gynecology: Uterine manipulation and dye instillation to check for perforations.

• Fertility Clinics: Standard diagnostic workups for primary or secondary infertility.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used — Really Good Condition.

• Mechanical Integrity: The trigger mechanism is smooth and responsive. The threaded fasteners and knurled handles show no signs of cross-threading or mechanical wear.

• Surface Condition: Surgical stainless steel is clean with no pitting or oxidation. The rubber acorn guards remain flexible and free of dry-rot or cracking.

• Safety Note: This instrument set is provided non-sterile. All components, including the tray and rubber guards, must undergo a validated ultrasonic cleaning and a steam autoclave cycle prior to clinical use.
