Description

The Sklar Blue Pederson 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 blades of the Pederson Speculum are more narrow than the blades of the Graves Speculum. The practitioner can best determine which type and size speculum is most appropriate for the patient. The Sklar Blue 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 an extra-small sized speculum with 2 3/4" x 1/2" blades. There is no smoke evacuation device.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Sklar Blue coating effectively prevent unintended burns?

Yes. The Sklar Blue insulated coating is specifically engineered to be non-conductive. It prevents radio frequency (RF) current transmission, which significantly reduces the risk of burning non-targeted tissue during electrosurgical procedures like LEEP.

Is this speculum suitable for specialized gynecological examinations?

Absolutely. This model features a Pederson style design with narrow blades (2 3/4” x 1/2”). It is an ideal choice for procedures where narrower visualization is required compared to the standard Graves style.

Can this instrument be safely sterilized in an autoclave?

Yes, this instrument is fully reusable and autoclavable. It is validated to meet ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards for steam sterilization and is also compatible with ultrasonic cleaning methods.

What biological safety standards does this instrument meet?

This speculum is designed with patient safety as a priority and complies with: ISO 10993 requirements, including rigorous biological testing for cytotoxicity and sensitization.

Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes. This product is certified Latex Free, meaning it is not made with any natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for latex-sensitive patients.

How durable is the construction of this speculum?

The instrument is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, providing robust durability. Because it is a professional-grade medical instrument, it also comes with a lifetime warranty.

Is the mechanism easy to adjust during a procedure?

Yes, it utilizes a reliable double-bladed duckbill configuration. The blades are inserted closed and can be precisely opened and adjusted using an external lever and screw mechanism.

Does this model include smoke evacuation features?

No, this specific configuration is provided without integrated smoke evacuation tubes or loops. It is designed specifically for practitioners who do not require built-in evacuation ports.

Is this speculum considered a TAA-compliant medical device?

Yes, the product is TAA Compliant, meeting the requirements necessary for government procurement and use in regulated medical facilities.

How do the blade dimensions compare to standard specula?

This is an extra-small size instrument with blade dimensions of 2 3/4 inches by 1/2 inch. This narrow profile is intentionally designed for better patient comfort and access in specialized cases.
