Description

The Sklar Black Graves 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 Graves Speculum has wider blades than the Pederson Speculum and the practitioner can best determine which type and size speculum is most appropriate for the patient. 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 speculum with 4" X 1-1/4" blades. It has a permanent smoke evacuation tube.

Frequently asked questions

Does the non-reflective coating really improve laser safety?

Yes, the Sklar Black polymer coating is specifically engineered for laser surgery. It is applied over sandblasted stainless steel to reduce laser reflection to less than 0.1%, significantly minimizing the risk of accidental laser reflection during procedures.

Is the smoke evacuation tube permanently attached?

Yes, this specific model features an integrated, permanent smoke evacuation tube. This design allows for the continuous removal of surgical plume directly during laser use, ensuring a clearer field of vision and a safer environment.

Does this speculum meet medical regulatory standards?

Absolutely. This instrument is built to strict compliance standards, including:

ISO 10993: Meets biological testing requirements (cytotoxicity and sensitization).
ANSI/AAMI ST79: Validated for both Pre-Vacuum and Gravity Cycle steam sterilization.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this Sklar Black Laser Graves Vaginal Speculum is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable choice for procedures involving patients with latex sensitivities.

How do the blade dimensions compare to standard options?

This is a medium-sized Graves speculum with a classic double-blade duckbill configuration. The blades measure 4 inches in length and 1.25 inches in width, providing the wider profile associated with the Graves style for better visualization.

Is the instrument durable enough for repeated sterilization?

Yes, it is classified as reusable. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel and finished with a durable, specialized polymer coating, it is designed to withstand multiple steam sterilization cycles as validated by ANSI/AAMI ST79 protocols.

Does the black coating wear off easily?

The Sklar Black coating is engineered for surgical durability. It is applied over a sandblasted stainless steel base specifically to provide a long-lasting, non-reflective surface that maintains its performance standards under clinical conditions.

How is the speculum opened and adjusted during use?

This instrument utilizes a standard, reliable mechanical design. It is inserted closed and then opened to the desired width using an external lever and screw mechanism, allowing for precise control and stability throughout the procedure.

Does this speculum come with any quality guarantees?

Yes, this instrument is backed by a Lifetime warranty, reflecting the manufacturer’s confidence in the build quality, precision engineering, and materials used in its construction.

Is the Graves design better for laser procedures?

The Graves design is highly favored for gynecological procedures because its blades are wider than those of a Pederson speculum. This provides optimal visualization, which is essential when performing precision laser work in clinical settings.
