Description

Sklar's Lateral Vaginal Retractor is a ratcheted, finger ring OB/GYN instrument that may be used in conjunction with most vaginal speculua to provide a greater view of vaginal walls and cervix. It is particularly useful with women who are obese, elderly, or otherwise have poorly toned vaginal walls. The jaws and blades of the lateral vaginal retractor slide through the speculum and when opened, push back excess or relaxed vaginal wall tissue. This provides for a better visual examination as well as increases the liklihood of obtaining adequate tissue samples. The locking mechanism allows the retractor to remain open while procedures are conducted.

Does the design offer good control during adjustment?

Is this instrument TAA compliant?

How should I maintain the retractor's finish?

To maintain the professional-grade quality of the instrument: 1. Always follow standard medical-grade sterilization procedures suitable for stainless steel. 2.
