Frequently asked questions
Does this speculum effectively minimize laser reflection?
Yes, this instrument features a specialized Sklar Black non-reflective polymer coating applied over sandblasted stainless steel. This design significantly reduces laser reflection to less than 0.1%, ensuring a safer environment during gynecological laser procedures.
Is the smoke evacuation feature permanent?
Yes, this model is equipped with an integrated permanent smoke evacuation tube. This feature is specifically designed to manage surgical byproducts effectively during procedures.
How does the Graves design differ from other specula?
The Graves design is distinguished by its wider blades, measuring 4-1/2 inches in length and 1-3/8 inches in width. This provides a broader exposure compared to the narrower Pederson style, offering clinicians greater flexibility based on specific patient needs.
Can this instrument be safely sterilized?
Yes, this instrument is fully compatible with standard sterilization workflows. It is validated for Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle Steam Sterilization in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards.
Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This speculum is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for patients and staff with latex sensitivities.
Does this instrument meet medical regulatory requirements?
Yes, the speculum complies with rigorous biological testing standards, including:
- ISO 10993 requirements for cytotoxicity and sensitization.
- TAA compliance for quality and manufacturing standards.
How durable is the construction of the speculum?
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel and finished with a durable, sandblasted polymer coating, this instrument is designed for long-term clinical use. It is a reusable, factory-new surgical instrument backed by a lifetime guarantee.
How is the blade movement controlled during use?
The speculum uses a reliable external lever and screw mechanism. The device is inserted while closed, and the blades are then adjusted manually using the screw system for precise positioning.
Are there different sizes available for this model?
This specific variant is the Large size configuration. It is designed to provide the specific blade dimensions (4-1/2” X 1-3/8”) required for practitioners who prefer the wider Graves-style exposure.
Does the black coating wear off easily?
No, the Sklar Black polymer coating is engineered to be a durable, integrated finish over the sandblasted stainless steel body. It is specifically formulated to withstand the rigors of repeated steam sterilization while maintaining its non-reflective properties.
