Frequently asked questions
Does the Graves design offer better visibility?
Yes, the Graves pattern features wider blades compared to standard Pederson specula. This design is specifically engineered to provide practitioners with enhanced visibility of the cervix and vaginal vault, making it a highly effective choice for routine examinations and Pap Smears.
Is the speculum built for long-term clinical use?
Absolutely. This instrument is crafted from durable, high-grade stainless steel specifically intended for repeated, long-term application in busy clinical environments. Its robust construction ensures it stands up to the rigors of frequent use.
Are the gold screws purely decorative?
While the gold external screws provide a distinct, high-quality aesthetic accent, they serve a vital functional purpose. They are designed for smooth, reliable, and precise blade adjustment, allowing the practitioner to control dilation with ease and accuracy.
Is this material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, you can use this with confidence. The Sklar Graves Vaginal Speculum is manufactured without natural rubber latex, making it a safer option for patients with latex sensitivities or allergies.
How should I prepare this for its first use?
As this instrument is supplied non-sterile, it must undergo proper sterilization procedures according to your facility’s protocols before being used for any diagnostic procedure.
Is this a versatile size for general exams?
The Medium size (with 4-inch by 1.25-inch blades) is a standard and highly versatile choice. The Graves design generally allows practitioners to better accommodate a wider range of patients compared to narrower models.
Does this tool meet federal manufacturing standards?

How is the blade dilation controlled?
The speculum features a classic double-blade duckbill mechanism. Dilation is managed using the external lever and the premium gold-finished screw mechanism, allowing for smooth, controlled, and precise opening of the blades after insertion.
