Sims and EUingers may be regarded as types. Therehave been various modifications. Recent work on the use of large obstetricsteel dilators, however, has opened up new possibilities in this direc-tion. One of the more recent steel obstetric dilators is the four-bladed oneof Bossi (Fig. 1087). It is probably the best instrument now at our instruments are, of course, more easily rendered aseptic than is the is difficult, however, to estimate the amount of force used, nor is a steel instru-ment so perfectly under the operators control. It is safe to say that, as an imi-tation of the natural process, and therefore as a safe method of dilatation, nosteel instrument at present devised can be used which will entirely take the place ? ?^%.
