Description

The Sklar Blue Auvard Weighted Vaginal Speculum is a single end vaginal speculum commonly used in electrosurgical OB/GYN procedures. It is available with various blades styles and three weight choices in order to accommodate the needs of the patient and the procedure. The weight holds the speculum in place and provides an open view for the surgeon to perform procedures. Sklar Blue electrosurgical instruments feature high quality stainless steel with an insulated coating. This safe coating prevents radio frequency currents from being transmitted through the instrument which reduces the burning of non-targeted tissue. Sklar Blue instruments are fully autoclavable and may also be cleaned ultrasonically. All Sklar Blue 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. Sklar Blue electrosurgical coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects. This product has a extra long blade which is 4" x 1-3/4" with a medium 2-1/2 pound weight. It does not have a smoke evacuation tube.

Frequently asked questions

Does this speculum protect patients during electrosurgery?

Yes. This instrument is specifically engineered with a specialized Sklar Blue insulated coating. This non-conductive layer helps mitigate the transmission of radio frequency currents, which is essential for minimizing thermal spread and protecting non-targeted tissue during electrosurgical procedures.

Is the material safe for repeated sterilization?

Absolutely. This speculum is constructed from high-quality, durable stainless steel that is fully autoclavable. It is also approved for ultrasonic cleaning, ensuring it meets rigorous hospital reprocessing standards for long-term operational viability.

How does the weight help during procedures?

The speculum features a precisely calibrated 2.5-pound weight. This design allows for hands-free retraction, securely holding the instrument in place to provide the surgeon with a consistently clear and open operative field without manual manipulation.

Are the materials used in this instrument latex-free?

Yes, this instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it suitable for environments requiring latex-free surgical equipment.

Does this instrument meet professional medical compliance standards?

Yes. It adheres to strict regulatory and quality standards, including:

  • ISO 10993 biological testing (cytotoxicity and sensitization)
  • ANSI/AAMI ST79 steam sterilization validation
  • TAA Compliance
What are the dimensions of the blade?

This specific configuration features an extra-long blade measuring 4 inches by 1.75 inches (4” x 1-3/4”), designed to provide optimal access and visibility during OB/GYN surgeries.

Is the insulating coating covered by a guarantee?

Yes, the specialized Sklar Blue electrosurgical coating is guaranteed against manufacturing defects for one year.

Does this speculum include a tube for smoke evacuation?

No, this specific model does not feature a smoke evacuation tube. It is designed as a classic, single-end Auvard-style weighted speculum focused on stabilization and electrosurgical safety.

Is the instrument ready for surgery upon arrival?

No. The instrument is supplied non-sterile. It must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols (autoclaving) before it is used in a surgical environment.

Is this suitable for advanced gynecological procedures?

Yes. It is considered essential instrumentation for advanced gynecological surgeries where maintaining a stable operative field is critical and where high standards of instrument insulation are required.
