Clinical Application
Designed to provide targeted retraction of one vaginal wall to improve visualization and access to the cervix and posterior fornix. Suited to routine gynecologic examinations, specimen collection (cervical swabs/biopsies), insertion procedures that benefit from unilateral exposure, and minor office-based procedures where controlled retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The Sims pattern uses a single, gently curved blade that retracts the vaginal wall laterally and posteriorly, creating an unobstructed field on one side while minimizing pressure on the opposite wall. The integrated handle offers secure control and tactile feedback for fine positioning and sustained exposure. The specific 60x25+30mm sizing provides a balance of blade length and opening appropriate for patients requiring moderate retraction without excessive tissue stretch.
