Clinical Application
Designed to provide reliable exposure of the vaginal canal and cervix for diagnostic and minor therapeutic procedures. Common uses include routine pelvic examinations, cervical cytology (Pap) sampling, placement and removal of intrauterine devices, colposcopy, directed biopsies, suture placement and vaginal specimen collection. The 115 mm x 35 mm dimensions deliver moderate depth and lateral exposure appropriate for many adult gynecologic examinations where increased visualization is required.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a bivalve blade design that separates the anterior and posterior vaginal walls to create a clear working channel to the cervix. An adjustable locking mechanism allows the blades to be held in a fixed open position for hands-free access, enabling simultaneous instrumentation, sampling, or visualization. The broad opposing blades distribute retraction evenly to reduce focal pressure and improve visibility of the cervix and fornices.
