No stiff instru-ment can be relied upon to reach the fundus. This difficulty may generallybe overcome by using a small flexible bougie or gum-elastic catheter whichwill accommodate itself to the curves.

It is a coil of wirecovered with rubber, with a handle of hard rubber near one end. When 60 METHODS OF GYNAECOLOGICA
