Description

The Sklar Sims-Kelly Retractor is used for retracting the vaginal wall during OB/GYN procedures. It is a single end, right angle, manual retractor available in three sizes. This retractor combines multiple characteristics of the standard Kelly and standard Sims retractors. The shaft of this retractor curves backwards slightly before curving forward again. This creates a gentle right angle and a blade that is marginally larger than a standard Kelly retractor but smaller than a standard Sims retractor. The blade itself has a curvature similar to that of the Sims retractor. The walls are U-shaped versus flatter like a Kelly retractor. There is no downward turning lip at the tip of the blade as there is with the Kelly retractor, and the tip is squared and blunt, unlike the standard Sims retractor which is rounded. This is a large retractor with a 3" X 1-1/2" blade. Sklar offers this Kelly retractor with a grip handle that is hollow and features finger ridges and a slight hook at the end for a secure grip and improved comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Does this retractor offer improved handling for surgeons?

Yes, the instrument features an ergonomic hollow grip handle designed specifically to reduce hand fatigue. It includes prominent finger ridges and a terminal hook that provides a secure, comfortable hold during extended procedures.

Is the stainless steel material durable for frequent use?

Absolutely. This retractor is manufactured from high-quality, medical-grade stainless steel, making it a robust, reusable instrument designed to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles.

How does the hybrid blade design improve performance?

The blade combines the U-shaped curvature of a Sims retractor with a size profile that sits between standard Kelly and Sims models. This hybrid geometry allows for optimized retraction in scenarios where neither a full-sized Kelly nor a full-sized Sims blade is ideal.

Is the tip safe for sensitive vaginal tissues?

Yes, the blade features a squared and blunt tip. This specific design choice ensures effective retraction while avoiding the potentially sharper or lipped edges found on other instrument types.

Are there any latex materials used in this instrument?

No, the Sklar Sims-Kelly Retractor is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Is this instrument compliant with government procurement standards?

Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the requirements set forth by the Trade Agreements Act, making it suitable for governmental and institutional procurement.

What is the total length of the instrument?

The retractor measures 7-1/4 inches in total length, providing a balanced profile for manual surgical manipulation.

How should this instrument be treated before initial use?

The instrument is delivered non-sterile. It must be properly cleaned and subjected to a validated sterilization process before it is used in any surgical procedure.

Does this come with a long-term quality guarantee?

Yes, Sklar stands behind the manufacturing quality of this instrument with a lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind for your surgical investment.

Is this a versatile tool for OB/GYN settings?

It is highly specialized for vaginal wall retraction in gynecological and obstetric procedures. Its unique design offers a precise balance, making it a valuable addition to surgical sets where versatility in retraction is required.
