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 small retractor with a 2-1/4" X 1" blade. Sklar offers this Kelly retractor with a grip handle that is hollow and features finger ridges and a slight hook finger rest at the end for a secure grip and improved comfort.

Frequently asked questions

Does this retractor offer improved handling features?

Yes, this instrument is designed for high-stress surgical environments. It features an ergonomic hollow grip handle with:

  • Integrated finger ridges for a superior tactile grip.
  • A terminal hook finger rest to prevent slippage during use.
Is the stainless steel durable enough for frequent autoclaving?

Absolutely. This retractor is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel designed specifically for medical use. It is a fully reusable instrument built to withstand the rigors of repeated sterilization cycles.

How does the hybrid blade design benefit the surgeon?

The hybrid design optimizes clinical performance by bridging the gap between standard Kelly and Sims models:

  • Width: It offers a blade wider than a standard Kelly but smaller than a standard Sims.
  • Geometry: The U-shaped blade features the signature curvature of a Sims model while maintaining the functional right-angle utility of a Kelly.
Are there any concerns regarding latex in this material?

No, you do not need to worry about latex sensitivities. This product is not made with natural rubber latex.

Is the tip safe for sensitive tissue applications?

Yes, the instrument features a squared and blunt tip configuration. This design avoids sharp edges, ensuring it is appropriate for delicate vaginal retraction procedures.

Does the construction meet professional surgical standards?

Yes, the Sklar Sims-Kelly Retractor is a professional-grade, TAA-compliant instrument built for consistent, clinical-level performance in OB/GYN applications.

Is the shaft architecture designed for specific positioning?

The shaft is precision-engineered to curve backward before sweeping forward. This unique geometry creates a controlled right angle that allows for superior visualization and effective retraction during procedures.

Does this instrument require special care after use?

As a medical-grade stainless steel instrument, it should be processed according to standard hospital protocols for reusable surgical tools. Its seamless construction allows for effective cleaning and sterilization.

Is this a versatile size for standard procedures?

The instrument is 7-1/4 inches in total length with a 2-1/4 inch by 1 inch blade. This size is specifically curated to balance maneuverability with the required surface area for effective vaginal wall retraction.
