Blade for Scherbak Vaginal Speculum 85x35mm

Clinical Application

This blade is intended as a replacement blade for the Scherbak vaginal speculum and is used to obtain visualization and atraumatic retraction of the vaginal walls during pelvic examination, colposcopy, IUD placement, minor office procedures, and outpatient gynecologic interventions. The 85 x 35 mm blade provides a balance of depth and lateral exposure suitable for routine adult examinations and many minor procedures where moderate vaginal canal access is required.

Design & Configuration

The 85 x 35 mm dimensions describe the functional working profile of the blade (length x width), which determines the depth of insertion and the lateral tissue retraction. A properly sized blade optimizes visualization of the cervix while minimizing unnecessary tissue stretch and patient discomfort. This replacement blade is configured to mate with Scherbak-style frames, allowing operators to maintain instrument sets without replacing the entire speculum body.
