Description

Sklar's Sims Vaginal Retractor is a handheld retractor used primarily for vaginal retraction and exposure. This retractor is available as a single or double-ended instrument with the blades always curved at right angles. This product is double-ended. The blades are curved at right angles, facing the same direction but are two different lengths. Commonly, one blade is inserted into the vagina, and by using either the middle section or opposite blade, the user retracts the anterior wall so that the posterior wall can be viewed. The entire instrument has a trough shape which serves to catch and drain blood or fluid that may exit the surgical site. This product is the #4 Sims retractor. The blades measure 1-1/4" x 3" and 1-1/2" x 3-1/4".

Frequently asked questions

Is this retractor made from high-quality stainless steel?

Yes, this instrument is manufactured from durable, high-quality stainless steel. This ensures both the longevity of the tool and its suitability for repeated sterilization and medical reprocessing.

Does the double-ended design offer practical benefits?

Absolutely. The double-ended design provides dual functionality, featuring two blades of different dimensions (1-1/4” x 3” and 1-1/2” x 3-1/4”). This allows clinicians to perform versatile retraction techniques depending on the specific requirements of the procedure.

How does the design assist with fluid management?

The instrument features a unique trough shape integrated along the length of the blades. This design effectively catches and channels blood or surgical fluids away from the site, maintaining a clearer field of vision during procedures.

Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar Sims Vaginal Retractor is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for use in surgical environments where latex-free instruments are required.

Are the blade edges designed to prevent tissue trauma?

Yes, the edges and tips of the blades are smoothly rounded. This precision engineering is specifically intended to facilitate effective retraction while minimizing the risk of tissue trauma.

Does this tool require special cleaning before its first use?

Yes, this instrument is delivered in a non-sterile state. It must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols before it can be deployed for a surgical procedure.

Can this retractor withstand frequent sterilization cycles?

Certainly. Because it is constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel and designed as a reusable instrument, it is built to withstand the rigors of repeated reprocessing and sterilization.

Is this a TAA compliant medical instrument?

Yes, the Sklar Sims Vaginal Retractor is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for federal procurement and use in government-associated healthcare settings.

How do the two blade sizes differ?

The two ends provide flexibility for different anatomical needs: <ul><li>Blade 1: 1-1/4 inches x 3 inches</li><li>Blade 2: 1-1/2 inches x 3-1/4 inches</li></ul>

Does this professional-grade instrument come with long-term protection?
