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.
How durable is the construction of this instrument?
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?
Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument. It is intended for long-term use in clinical or hospital settings and is designed to maintain its precision through repeated processing.
Does the instrument support asset tracking systems?
Yes, this unit is CensiTrac marked. This feature allows for efficient instrument tracking, documentation, and management within clinical asset tracking systems.
Is this instrument compliant with professional procurement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Blue Electrosurgical Lateral Vaginal Retractor is TAA compliant, meeting the standards required for government and high-level medical procurement.
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.
