Description

Sklar Blue Sims Vaginal Retractor is a handheld retractor used primarily for vaginal retraction and exposure in electrosurgical procedures. Sklar Blue electrosurgical instruments feature an insulated coating that prevents radio frequency currents from being transmitted through the instrument which reduces the burning of non-targeted tissue. This retractor is available as a single or double-ended instrument with the blades always curved at right angles. This product has a single blade and a Sklar Grip handle that features ridges for comfortable finger placement and added control. There is also a slight curve at the base of the handle for finger placement. The blade is inserted into the vagina to retract the anterior wall so that the posterior wall can be viewed. The blade is trough shaped, which serves to catch and drain blood or fluid that may exit the surgical site. This product is the medium Sims retractor with a blade measuring 3" x 1-1/4". There is no smoke evacuation loop or tubing.

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. Sklar Blue electrosurgical coatings are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects.

Frequently asked questions

Is the insulating coating durable for long-term use?

Yes, the Sklar Blue coating is engineered for durability in demanding clinical environments. It is a robust, non-conductive layer designed specifically to withstand repeated sterilization cycles, including:

Autoclaving
Ultrasonic cleaning

This makes it a sustainable, reusable instrument that complies with ANSI/AAMI ST79 standards.

Does the trough-shaped blade assist with fluid management?

Absolutely. The blade features a trough-shaped design which serves two primary purposes:

Providing effective retraction of the anterior vaginal wall.
Acting as a channel to catch and drain fluids away from the surgical site, helping to maintain a clearer field of vision.

How does the handle improve surgeon comfort?

The instrument features the specialized Sklar Grip handle, which incorporates:

Integrated ridges for a secure, non-slip hold.
A curved base designed to fit naturally in the hand, providing superior stability and reducing fatigue during prolonged surgical procedures.

Is this retractor safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, this instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients and medical staff with latex sensitivities.

Does the non-conductive coating impact surgical precision?

Not at all. The Sklar Blue coating is applied to enhance safety by preventing electrical arcing and radio frequency transmission to non-targeted tissues without compromising the structural integrity or functional precision of the stainless steel instrument.

Is this device compliant with medical safety regulations?

Yes, it meets strict professional standards:

ISO 10993 compliant (biocompatibility).
TAA Compliant.
Complies with ANSI/AAMI ST79 for sterilization protocols.

Can this be cleaned using standard hospital protocols?

Yes. This instrument is fully compatible with standard autoclave and ultrasonic cleaning protocols, allowing for efficient integration into existing hospital or surgical center decontamination workflows.

What is the primary benefit of the Sklar Blue coating?

The primary benefit is enhanced surgical safety. By preventing electrical conductivity, the coating effectively minimizes the risk of accidental burns to surrounding healthy tissue during electrosurgical procedures, providing peace of mind for both the surgeon and the patient.

Is this suitable for frequent, daily surgical use?

Yes, it is designed for professional clinical use. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel and finished with a protective coating, it is built to serve as a reliable, reusable tool in busy hospital or surgical center environments.

Are there any specific design features for safe insertion?

The instrument is designed with a blunt tip configuration and an angled silhouette. These features facilitate ergonomic insertion and gentle retraction, ensuring the instrument is both effective for exposure and safe for the patient.
