Clinical Application
Provides targeted vaginal wall retraction and exposure during obstetric and gynecologic procedures. Designed for use in delivery suites, operating rooms, and ambulatory surgery centers to assist with anterior/posterior repair, episiotomy management, examination of the vaginal canal, and procedures that require direct visualization and access to the introitus and lower vaginal vault. The compact footprint supports use in confined working fields and for single-operator retraction during minor procedures.
Design & Configuration
The single-blade, hand-held geometry delivers direct, controlled retraction of vaginal tissue. The blade width (32 mm) offers a broad surface for atraumatic tissue spread while the blade length (115 mm) reaches the mid-to-deep vaginal canal without excessive bulk. A smooth, contoured blade edge reduces focal pressure on mucosa and facilitates gentle separation of tissue planes. The simple, ergonomic form factor supports rapid placement and adjustment during dynamic clinical situations such as active delivery or repair of lacerations.
