Description

The Sklar Black Graves Wide-View Vaginal Speculum is used for laser gynecological procedures. It is a double blade duckbill speculum inserted with the blades closed. The blades are then opened by an external lever and screw. The Sklar Black Graves Vaginal Speculum is available with a permanent smoke evacuation tube, a loop for disposable smoke evacuation tubing, or no smoke evacuation. Sklar Black Laser instruments feature a non-reflective black polymer coating applied over the sandblasted instrument developed specifically for laser surgeries. This safe, durable coating reduces laser reflection to less than one-tenth of a percent, ensuring a safer surgical environment for patients and surgical staff. All Sklar Black coated instruments comply with biological testing requirements for cytotoxicity, sensitization regulatory, and ISO 10993 requirements. They also comply with the Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle Steam Sterilization Validation of ANSI/AAMI ST79. This product is a medium sized speculum with 4" X 1-1/4" blades. It has a permanent smoke evacuation tube.

Frequently asked questions

Does the black coating effectively reduce laser reflection?

Yes, the speculum features a specialized non-reflective black polymer coating over sandblasted stainless steel. This design is specifically engineered to reduce laser reflection to less than one-tenth of one percent, which significantly enhances surgical safety for both patients and staff.

Is the smoke evacuation tube permanently integrated?

Yes, this specific model is equipped with a permanent, built-in smoke evacuation tube. This integrated feature streamlines the setup process for laser gynecological procedures by eliminating the need for attachments or additional tubing components.

Are the materials used in this speculum biocompatible?

Absolutely. The instrument complies with rigorous biological testing requirements, including:

  • Cytotoxicity standards
  • Sensitization regulatory requirements
  • ISO 10993 international standards for medical devices
Can this speculum withstand repeated steam sterilization cycles?

Yes, it is designed for durability and repeated use. The material and coating are compliant with ANSI/AAMI ST79 validation requirements for both Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle steam sterilization, ensuring it remains effective after multiple reprocessing cycles.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for clinical environments where latex-free instruments are required.

What is the specific blade size for this medium model?

This medium-sized Graves speculum features blades measuring 4 inches by 1-1/4 inches, which offers a standard, reliable profile for gynecological examinations and laser procedures.

How is the speculum opened during a procedure?

The instrument utilizes a classic external lever and screw mechanism. This design allows for smooth, controlled opening of the double blades once inserted, providing stability and precision during use.

Is this speculum considered a high-quality, long-term investment?

Yes. It is constructed from durable stainless steel and finished with a high-performance polymer. Because it is designed to be reusable and meets stringent sterilization standards, it offers excellent long-term value for a professional medical practice.

Is the speculum TAA compliant?

Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets the regulatory sourcing requirements often necessary for government and institutional medical procurement.

Does the wide-view design impact surgical visibility?

The wide-view design is specifically intended to enhance the visual field for the practitioner. When combined with the non-reflective coating, it ensures both optimal visibility and safety during delicate laser gynecological procedures.
