Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled exposure of the vaginal canal and cervix for diagnostic and minor therapeutic procedures in outpatient and ambulatory settings. Common uses include routine gynecologic examination, cytology (Pap) sampling, intrauterine device insertion/removal, cervical inspection, and minor vaginal procedures where direct visualization and instrument access are required.
Design & Configuration
The Collin bivalve geometry provides two opposing blades that separate the vaginal walls to create a clear working channel to the cervix. The specified 65x20 mm blade dimension balances reach and patient comfort—offering sufficient length for visualization while limiting blade width to reduce soft-tissue stretch in patients with a narrower introitus. An adjustable opening allows the clinician to set and maintain the working exposure, facilitating hands-free access when used with an integrated ratchet or assistant support.
