Description

The Merit Graves vaginal speculum is a gynecological instrument used for performing pelvic examinations, pap smears, and examining the cervix. It is a double blade duckbill speculum inserted with the blades closed. The blades are then opened by an external lever and screw. The Graves has wider blades than the Pederson and the practitioner can best determine which type and size is most appropriate for the patient. Merit instruments are Sklar’s economical office-grade line of products used for routine in-office procedures. This product Graves is available in several sizes.

Frequently asked questions

Does this speculum offer improved visibility during exams?

Yes, this model features the Graves design, which is characterized by wider blades compared to the Pederson style. This configuration is specifically engineered to provide practitioners with greater visual access during pelvic examinations and cervical inspections.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

How does the opening mechanism work for the practitioner?

  • Routine gynecological examinations
  • Pap smears
  • Cervical inspections
Is the medium size standard for clinical use?

The Medium Graves speculum is a staple in the Sklar Merit line, offering a balanced size that is widely utilized by practitioners for standard pelvic examinations where a broader blade surface is preferred for visualization.

Does this require any specialized assembly before use?

No, the instrument is supplied in Factory New condition and arrives ready for integration into your clinical workflow. It is a single-unit, professional-grade tool designed for immediate use following proper initial sterilization.

Are these blades designed with a standard curvature?
