Abstract
The Authors suggest a new conceived line of metal cervical dilators, testing them on a group, made up of 69 patients, who will undergo Voluntary Pregnancy Interruption (VPI). Comparing the results with those obtained within a further test-group, made up of 69 women who have undergone a cervical dilation, performed by traditional Hegar dilators, it has been noticed that the new dilators are less traumatic on the cervical canal of the uterus; they can be used more easily and a wider employment is foreseen.
