Description

The Sklar Blue Electrosurgical Graves Vaginal Speculum is used for electrosurgical gynecological procedures, such as LEEP. 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 Blue Electrosurgical Graves Vaginal Speculum is available with a permanent smoke evacuation tube, a loop for disposable smoke evacuation tubing, or no smoke evacuation. 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. This product is a small sized speculum with 3" X 3/4" blades. It has a permanent smoke evacuation tube.

Frequently asked questions

Does the blue coating offer actual safety benefits?

Yes, the distinctive Sklar Blue insulating coating is a critical safety feature. It is a non-conductive layer applied over high-quality stainless steel specifically designed to prevent the transmission of radio frequency currents, which significantly minimizes the risk of unintended burns to non-targeted tissue during electrosurgical procedures.

Is the smoke evacuation tube durable enough for repeated use?

Absolutely. This speculum features a permanent smoke evacuation tube integrated directly into the instrument’s design. It is built to withstand the same rigorous cleaning and sterilization protocols as the rest of the instrument, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance in maintaining a clear field of view.

How does the Graves design improve visualization?

The Graves design utilizes wider blades (3” x 3/4”) compared to the narrower Pederson speculum. This increased width provides the practitioner with enhanced visualization of the surgical site, making it particularly effective for various patient anatomies during electrosurgical procedures like LEEP.

Can this speculum handle autoclave sterilization?

Yes, this instrument is fully autoclavable and suitable for ultrasonic cleaning. It is engineered to meet the stringent ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards for steam sterilization, ensuring it remains safe and effective for repeated clinical use.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients or practitioners with latex sensitivities.

Does it meet high-quality medical standards?

It is built to rigorous specifications. The instrument complies with ISO 10993 standards for biological safety, covering cytotoxicity and sensitization, which guarantees the reliability and safety of the materials used in its construction.

How do you adjust the blade opening during a procedure?

The speculum is designed for precise control, utilizing an external lever and screw mechanism. This allows the practitioner to easily and securely adjust the blade opening to the desired width during a procedure.

Is this suitable for LEEP procedures?

Yes, this instrument is specifically engineered for gynecological electrosurgical procedures, such as LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure), where controlled electrical current application and smoke evacuation are essential.

What is the material composition of the speculum?

The core of the instrument is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which provides the necessary strength and durability required for surgical environments. This is then finished with the specialized, non-conductive Sklar Blue insulating coating.

Is this product TAA compliant?

Yes, this speculum is Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliant, making it suitable for procurement in government and institutional healthcare settings that require adherence to these regulations.
