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 has a single blade. The handle is not distinctly separate from the working end of the instrument and is essentially a continuous piece of stainless steel. There is a slight curve at the base of the handle for finger placement. The blade is inserted into the vagina to retract the anterior wall so that the posterior wall can be viewed. The blade is trough shaped, which serves to catch and drain blood or fluid that may exit the surgical site. This product is the large Sims retractor with a blade measuring 3-1/2" x 1-1/2".

Frequently asked questions

Is the stainless steel construction highly durable?

Yes, this instrument is crafted from professional-grade stainless steel, designed specifically to withstand the rigors of a clinical surgical environment. Its continuous-piece, seamless construction ensures long-term structural integrity and reliability.

How does the blade design improve surgical visibility?

The blade is uniquely trough-shaped, offering two primary benefits during procedures:

Retraction: It effectively pulls back the anterior vaginal wall.
Fluid Management: It acts as a channel to efficiently drain blood or fluids away from the site, maintaining a clear view of the posterior wall.

Is the handle designed for ergonomic comfort?

Absolutely. The handle features a subtle curve at the base, which is specifically engineered to facilitate stable finger placement and provide superior control for the surgeon during manipulation.

Is this retractor suitable for patients with latex allergies?

Yes, the Sklar Sims Vaginal Retractor is 100% latex-free, meaning it is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for sensitive clinical settings.

Can this instrument be reused after cleaning?

Yes, this is a reusable surgical instrument. It is built to be cleaned and sterilized according to standard hospital protocols following each use.

What are the specific dimensions of the blade?

The functional blade measures 3-1/2 inches by 1-1/2 inches, providing an optimal surface area for effective retraction in a clinical setting.

Is this product compliant with TAA regulations?

Yes, the Sklar Sims Vaginal Retractor (Model 90-3235) is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for procurement in various government and healthcare sectors.

Does the finish help reduce glare under bright lights?

Yes, the instrument features a smooth, matte-metallic finish. This finish is designed to minimize light glare during use, ensuring that the surgeon’s visibility remains unobstructed under high-intensity surgical lighting.

Is this a single-piece construction?

Yes, the retractor is formed as a single, continuous piece of stainless steel. This seamless design eliminates joints or crevices, which enhances structural strength and makes the instrument easier to clean and sterilize.

Are there any assembly requirements upon arrival?

No, there is no assembly required. The retractor is ready for clinical use immediately upon following your facility’s standard sterilization procedures, as it arrives in a non-sterile condition.
