Frequently asked questions

Is the instrument built for long-term clinical durability?

This Sklar Graves speculum is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, ensuring it stands up to the rigors of frequent clinical use. Its durable construction offers a reliable, long-lasting investment for your facility compared to single-use options.
