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. It is a double angled instrument, available with open, closed, or long shanks. This product has two thin, 55mm x 22mm blades.

Frequently asked questions

Does the retractor handle complex patient anatomy effectively?

Yes. The retractor features a double-angled curvature specifically engineered to navigate anatomical curves. It is highly effective at retracting excess or relaxed tissue, making it an excellent tool for patients with obesity or poor vaginal wall tone.

Is the stainless steel used suitable for heavy clinical use?

Absolutely. It is manufactured from professional-grade stainless steel, ensuring the durability and rigidity required for repeated clinical use and standardized sterilization cycles.

How does the locking mechanism assist during procedures?

The instrument includes a ratcheted finger ring mechanism. This design allows the blades to lock securely in an open position, providing a hands-free experience for the clinician once the desired level of retraction is achieved.

Does this tool provide clearer views for tissue sampling?

Yes. By laterally retracting vaginal wall tissue, it significantly improves the visual field of the cervix and vaginal walls. This enhanced visibility is designed to facilitate more accurate examinations and improve the success of tissue sample acquisition.

Is the instrument compatible with standard vaginal specula?

Yes, it is designed to be used in combination with most standard vaginal specula to provide additional retraction and superior visualization beyond what a speculum alone can offer.

Are the blade dimensions standard for clinical requirements?

The retractor features two thin blades measuring 55mm x 22mm. These dimensions are optimized for effective tissue displacement while maintaining a slim profile for patient comfort.

Is this product safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes. The Sklar Lateral Vaginal Retractor is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patient care in environments where latex sensitivities are a concern.

Is the instrument CensiTrac marked for tracking?

Yes, this specific model comes CensiTrac marked, which is designed to assist healthcare facilities with instrument management and inventory tracking systems.

Does this meet federal procurement standards?

Yes, the product is TAA compliant, meeting the requirements of the Trade Agreements Act for procurement in government and federal healthcare settings.

What is the total length of the instrument?

The instrument measures 8-1/2 inches in total length, providing sufficient reach and leverage for OB/GYN procedures.
