  <dc:title>Sims' Uterine Sound</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This is a Sims' type uterine sound, rigid. It is composed of a long black India rubber shaft with a metal tip that appears curved due to use. The tip is blunt to prevent soft tissue damage. A similar instrument, now made of steel, is still used today to detect the length and position of the uterus.</dc:description>
