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 a large sized speculum with 4 3/4" x 1" blades. There is no smoke evacuation device.

Frequently asked questions

How does the Sklar Blue coating improve electrosurgical safety?

The Sklar Blue coating is a specialized, non-conductive insulation layer. It acts as a barrier that prevents radio frequency (RF) currents from conducting through the stainless steel body, which significantly minimizes the risk of accidental burns to non-targeted patient tissue during electrosurgical procedures.

Is this speculum durable enough for repeated clinical use?

Yes, this instrument is engineered for longevity in professional medical environments. It is fully autoclavable and compatible with ultrasonic cleaning protocols, making it a reliable, sustainable, and reusable choice for your practice.

How do the Pederson blades compare to a standard Graves speculum?

The Pederson design is characterized by narrower blades compared to the Graves configuration. This allows practitioners greater flexibility in patient examination, providing a more tailored fit based on specific patient anatomy.

What safety and biological standards does this instrument meet?

This speculum is built to rigorous international standards to ensure patient safety, including: <ul><li>ISO 10993 compliance for cytotoxicity and sensitization.</li><li>ANSI/AAMI ST79 validation for steam sterilization (pre-vacuum and gravity cycles).</li></ul>

Does the construction include any natural rubber latex?

No, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for both patients and medical staff with latex sensitivities.

Is the mechanism easy to adjust during a procedure?

Yes, the speculum features a high-quality external lever and a knurled screw mechanism. The knurling on the adjustment hardware provides enhanced grip for precise, one-handed control when expanding the blades after insertion.

Can I use this instrument for LEEP procedures?

Absolutely. This speculum is specifically designed for use during electrosurgical gynecological procedures, such as LEEP, where the insulating Sklar Blue coating provides the necessary protection against RF current leakage.

Does this model include smoke evacuation features?

No, this specific version of the Sklar Blue Pederson Vaginal Speculum is provided without tube or loops for smoke evacuation.

What is the official size and dimensions of this speculum?

This is a Large size speculum. The blade dimensions are: <ul><li>Length: 4 3/4 inches</li><li>Width: 1 inch</li></ul>

Is this product backed by a warranty?

Yes, this instrument is covered by a lifetime warranty, reflecting the high-quality stainless steel construction and commitment to durability.
