Clinical Application
Used to expose the vaginal walls and cervix to facilitate direct visualization, specimen collection (Pap smear), colposcopy, IUD placement/removal, and a range of minor gynecologic procedures performed in clinic or ambulatory surgery settings. The blade geometry provides access and working space for instruments while minimizing soft-tissue compression when positioned correctly.
Design & Configuration
The hinged bivalve design separates the vaginal walls and holds them apart to maintain a clear field. The 75 x 38 mm blade dimensions offer moderate length and width suitable for adult examinations, balancing exposure with patient comfort. An adjustable/self-retaining mechanism permits hands-free retraction to allow the clinician to use both hands for visualization, sampling, or instrument manipulation. Smooth, rounded blade edges reduce mucosal trauma during insertion and manipulation.
