Frequently asked questions
Does this speculum safely work with electrosurgical units?

Is this a reusable instrument?
Yes, this is a reusable medical instrument. It is constructed from durable, high-quality stainless steel, offering a sustainable and long-lasting alternative to disposable plastic specula.
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This speculum is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for clinical environments with patients who have latex sensitivities.
Does it meet government procurement standards?
Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements set forth by the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for use in US government and federal procurement settings.
How reliable is the build quality?
The speculum is manufactured by Sklar to ‘Sklar or grade’ standards. Because it is built from high-grade stainless steel and includes a lifetime warranty, you can rely on its durability and structural integrity over years of clinical use.
What is the primary benefit of the Pederson style design?
The Pederson style is known for its elongated and slender design. This makes it an excellent choice for clinicians who require specific anatomical access while maintaining the standard curvature expected in gynecological examinations.
Is the blue finish just for aesthetics?
While the distinctive blue finish gives it a professional appearance, its primary function is safety. The coating is specifically engineered to be non-conductive, which is essential for protecting both the clinician and the patient during electrosurgical procedures.
How are the blades held in place during use?
This model includes integrated loops, which serve as the mechanism for securing the blades. These loops ensure that the speculum maintains the desired level of exposure throughout the examination.
Does the product arrive sterile?
