Description

The SklarSpec Disposable Graves Vaginal Speculum is a clear plastic speculum used for performing pelvic examinations, Pap Smears, and examining the cervix. It provides 360 degree visibility and one hand operation for the user and greatly reduces temperature shock commonly experienced by patients when a metal speculum is used. It is a double blade duckbill speculum inserted with the blades closed. The blades are then opened by an external lever. The Graves Speculum has wider blades than the Pederson Speculum and the practitioner can best determine which type and size speculum is most appropriate for the patient. Because they are disposable, SklarSpec instruments reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination and eliminate sterilization and reprocessing time and costs. These instruments are available sterile or non-sterile, and in multiple sizes. SklarSpec instruments are available in bulk quantities.

Frequently asked questions

Does the plastic material minimize patient discomfort?

Yes, the SklarSpec is crafted from clear plastic specifically to eliminate the temperature shock often associated with cold metal instruments, significantly improving the patient experience.

Is this speculum designed for one-handed operation?

Absolutely. The device features an external lever mechanism that allows the practitioner to open the blades smoothly with one hand, streamlining the examination process.

How does the Graves design differ from other types?

The Graves configuration is characterized by wider blades compared to the narrower Pederson style. This wider profile gives medical professionals more versatility in choosing the best fit for specific patient anatomies.

Can these specula be cleaned and reused?

No, these instruments are strictly disposable. They are intended for single-use to ensure high standards of infection control and should not be autoclaved or boiled.

Are these made with natural rubber latex?

No, the SklarSpec Plastic Graves Vaginal Speculums are not made with natural rubber latex, making them a suitable choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

How many units are included in a case?

Each case contains 100 individual units, organized into 10 convenient bags of 10 specula each.

Does the design allow for full visibility?

Yes, the clear plastic construction provides 360-degree visibility, allowing for a comprehensive view of the cervix and vaginal walls during pelvic exams and Pap smears.

Are these specula pre-sterilized?

This specific variant is supplied in a non-sterile condition and is intended for clinical settings where protocol allows for such preparation.

What is the primary benefit of the disposable nature?

The disposable design offers several key efficiency benefits: 1) It eliminates the need for expensive sterilization and reprocessing, 2) it saves valuable staff time, and 3) it significantly reduces the risks associated with cross-contamination.

How should these be stored and handled?

These instruments are factory new and should be kept in their original packaging until needed. As they are single-use plastic devices, they should be stored in a clean environment and disposed of immediately following the procedure according to your facility’s waste protocols.
