Description

The Sklar Blue Lateral Vaginal Retractor is a ratcheted, finger ring OB/GYN instrument that may be used in conjunction with most vaginal specula to provide a greater view of vaginal walls and cervix. It is particularly useful with women who are obese, elderly, or otherwise have poorly toned vaginal walls. The jaws and blades of the lateral vaginal retractor slide through the speculum and when opened, push back excess or relaxed vaginal wall tissue. This provides for a better visual examination as well as increases the likelihood of obtaining adequate tissue samples. The locking mechanism allows the retractor to remain open while procedures are conducted. This product has two thin blades and is covered with an insulated coating for use in electrosurgical procedures.
