Clinical Application
Designed to provide atraumatic retraction of vaginal tissues, this instrument is used to expose the vaginal canal and vestibule during gynecologic examinations and procedures. Typical applications include dilation and curettage setup, hysteroscopy access, episiotomy and laceration repair, IUD placement, minor vaginal procedures, and routine diagnostic exams. The blade geometry offers broad surface contact to distribute pressure and minimize focal tissue trauma while maintaining visibility of the operative field.
Design & Configuration
The straight hand-held configuration allows an assistant or the primary operator to apply controlled, dynamic retraction. A flat blade measuring 85 x 17 mm provides a balance between coverage and maneuverability—large enough to retract a segment of vaginal wall while narrow enough for access in confined anatomy. The 19 cm overall length affords adequate reach from the handle to the introitus without excessive lever force, supporting ergonomic handling and intraoperative control.
