Which cannula is used in HSG?
When used for HSG, the Margolin HSG Cannula can be used for evaluation of tubal patency. The cannula is designed for patients with a stenotic external os and a narrow cervical canal. The silicone wedge at the distal tip is designed to occlude the external cervical os without trauma.
How is an HSG performed?
In HSG, a thin tube is threaded through the vagina and cervix. A substance known as contrast material is injected into the uterus. A series of X-rays, or fluoroscopy, follows the dye, which appears white on X-ray, as it moves into the uterus and then into the tubes.
Which dye is used for HSG?
For the first HSG Carey used collergol in 1914. Lipiodol was introduced by Sicard and Forestier in 1924 and remained a popular contrast medium for many decades. Later, water-soluble contrast material was generally preferred as it avoided the possible complication of oil embolism.
What is an HSG tray?

What should I do before my HSG test?
On the day of the test, take an anti-inflammatory pain medication such as Advil or Motrin an hour before the procedure. It is common to experience some mild to heavy cramping as the catheter is inserted, and pre-medicating with a painkiller can help minimize discomfort.
Does HSG flush tubes?
Although HSG is used to check whether tubes are blocked, many women have actually conceived in the first three to six months after undergoing the procedures. This indicates that the so-called “flushing of the tubes” during the HSG process itself has a beneficial effect on fertility.
Does HSG unblock fallopian tubes?
One theory is that the dye flushes out the fallopian tubes, clearing minor blocks in some women. (Though HSG cannot repair or open the serious blockages.) If this is the case, the HSG test result will show unblocked fallopian tubes. However, some contrast may seem to stop and then continue on the x-ray.
Which injection is given before HSG test?
During Your Exam A speculum is inserted into the vagina to hold it open. The cervix may be numbed. A catheter is then guided through the cervix and into the uterus. The radiologist will position the X-ray machine over your abdomen and contrast dye is injected through the catheter.
