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.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool work safely during electrosurgical procedures?

Yes, this retractor is specifically engineered for electrosurgical safety. It features a specialized blue non-conductive nylon coating over the stainless steel, which provides the necessary insulation for high-frequency electrical procedures.

Is this retractor suitable for patients with poor tissue tone?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed to assist with patients who have poor vaginal wall tone, such as elderly or obese patients, by effectively pushing back excess tissue to provide a significantly clearer field of view.

Can the retractor be locked in place for hands-free use?

Yes, it features a secure integrated ratchet mechanism. This allows the practitioner to lock the blades at the desired degree of extension, keeping the vaginal walls retracted so the practitioner can remain hands-free during the procedure.

This instrument is crafted from high-quality, OR-grade stainless steel. It is built for professional clinical environments and is designed to withstand repeated use over time.

Is this product compatible with standard vaginal specula?

Yes, the blades are designed to be thin enough to slide through most standard vaginal specula with ease, making it a highly practical addition to your existing surgical toolkit.

Does the device contain any natural rubber latex?

No, this product is 100% latex-free and is not manufactured using natural rubber latex, ensuring it is safe for use with patients who have latex sensitivities.

Is this a reusable instrument?

How should I maintain this instrument for longevity?

Because this is an OR-grade stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized according to your facility’s standard protocols for reusable surgical tools. The non-conductive nylon coating is robust, but should be inspected regularly during standard maintenance to ensure it remains intact for continued electrosurgical safety.
