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 slender sized speculum with 4" x 5/8" blades. It has a loop to hold and direct disposable smoke evacuation tubing.

Frequently asked questions

Does the blue coating offer enhanced safety during procedures?

Yes, the Sklar Blue insulated coating is a specialized non-conductive feature designed to prevent the transmission of radio frequency (RF) currents. This significantly reduces the risk of accidental burning of non-targeted tissues during sensitive electrosurgical procedures like LEEP.

Is this speculum suitable for smoke evacuation during surgery?

Absolutely. This model is specifically engineered with an integrated loop that allows you to easily attach and direct disposable smoke evacuation tubing, helping to maintain a clear field of vision and a cleaner environment during your procedures.

How does the slender blade profile benefit practitioners?

The slender blade profile, measuring 4 inches by 5/8 inches, offers a narrower design compared to traditional Graves specula. This provides clinicians with greater flexibility and precision when selecting the appropriate instrument for a patient’s specific anatomy.

What standards are met by this high-quality instrument?

This speculum is built to rigorous professional standards, ensuring: <ul><li>Compliance with ISO 10993 biological testing requirements (including cytotoxicity and sensitization).</li><li>Validation for steam sterilization per ANSI/AAMI ST79.</li><li>TAA compliance for procurement and safety standards.</li></ul>

Can this device withstand multiple sterilization cycles?

Yes, this instrument is designed for long-term clinical use. It is fully autoclavable and is also compatible with ultrasonic cleaning methods, allowing for effective and thorough reprocessing between uses.

Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable option for patients with latex sensitivities.

Is this a durable choice for a busy gynecological practice?

Definitely. It is constructed from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel and features a robust double-blade duckbill design that is built to endure the rigors of frequent clinical use.

What is the primary surgical application for this speculum?

This speculum is primarily intended for electrosurgical gynecological procedures, such as the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP), where the specialized insulation and smoke management features are essential for patient safety.

How are the blades adjusted during use?

The speculum features a classic double-blade duckbill mechanism that is operated via an external lever and high-grip, knurled adjustment screws, allowing for precise and controlled opening of the blades.

Are there specific maintenance requirements for the coated surface?

While the instrument is highly durable, it is important to follow standard sterilization protocols for autoclavable, insulated instruments. As long as the integrity of the non-conductive Sklar Blue coating is maintained through proper handling and cleaning, it will continue to provide the intended electrical protection.
