Frequently asked questions
Does this plastic material cause less temperature shock?
Yes, the plastic construction is specifically chosen to minimize the temperature shock that patients often experience with traditional metal specula, making for a more comfortable examination experience.
Can I operate this speculum with just one hand?
Absolutely. The SklarSpec is engineered for one-hand operation, allowing the practitioner to focus on the examination while easily manipulating the external lever to adjust the blades.
Are these specula safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, they are 100% latex-free. They are not made with any natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for patients with sensitivities.
How does the Graves design differ from other models?
The Graves design features wider blades than the Pederson model. This makes them particularly well-suited for a variety of patient anatomies, including patients who have given birth or require broader anatomical support during an exam.
Is the material clear enough for a full inspection?
Yes, the high-quality clear plastic provides 360-degree visibility. This allows for a clear, unobstructed view of the cervix and vaginal walls, which is essential for thorough clinical examinations.
How do these help with clinical infection control?
Because these instruments are disposable, they eliminate the risk of cross-contamination between patients. They also remove the need for time-consuming and expensive sterilization or reprocessing procedures.
How are the 100 units organized in the case?
The case includes 100 disposable specula total. For convenient storage and access, the contents are organized into 10 individual bags, with 10 specula per bag.
Do I need to sterilize these before the first use?
No. These are supplied as Sklar Sterile products. They are ready to use immediately out of the packaging, saving you significant preparation time.
Are there special maintenance steps for this plastic?
There is no maintenance required since they are designed for single-use. Please note that you should never boil or autoclave these, as they are specifically engineered for disposal after a single clinical examination.
What is the best way to insert this device?
The design facilitates a smooth insertion using the double-blade duckbill approach. The blades are inserted while closed for patient comfort and are then opened gradually using the integrated external lever.
