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 #2 Sims retractor.

Frequently asked questions

Does the trough design help with visibility?

Yes, the trough shape integrated throughout the entire instrument body is specifically engineered to catch and drain blood and surgical fluids away from the site, which significantly improves visibility in the surgical field.

Is this retractor suitable for long-term clinical use?

Absolutely. This is a high-quality, reusable surgical instrument manufactured from durable stainless steel, designed specifically to withstand repeated sterilization cycles for extended professional use.

How does the double-ended design assist the surgeon?

The double-ended configuration provides essential versatility. Because the instrument features two blades of different lengths on a single unit, surgeons can select the appropriate blade length for the specific anatomical needs of the procedure without switching instruments.

Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?

Yes. The Sklar Sims Vaginal Retractor is certified as not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

What standards does this surgical instrument meet?

This instrument is fully TAA compliant, ensuring it meets the rigorous manufacturing and sourcing standards required for federal procurement and high-standard medical facilities.

How should this instrument be prepared before its first use?

This retractor arrives non-sterile. It must undergo your facility’s standard sterilization protocols for surgical stainless steel instruments before being introduced into a sterile field.

Which specific Sims model is this?

This is identified as the #2 Sims retractor, which features blades curved at right angles for effective handheld vaginal retraction and exposure.

Is the branding and model information easy to identify?

Yes, the instrument includes CensiTrac markings, which support efficient instrument tracking and inventory management within professional medical settings.

What is the primary material composition of the tool?

The retractor is constructed from high-grade stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, strength, and ability to endure repeated cleaning and autoclaving.

What makes this retractor a reliable choice for gynecological procedures?

Its design combines functional precision with fluid management. By allowing the surgeon to retract the anterior wall while draining fluids through the trough, it provides the consistent exposure necessary for both gynecological and obstetric procedures.
