Instructions for use

Sims' speculum is inserted into the vagina to retract posterior vaginal wall. It gives more exposure of the vaginal walls than Cusco's Speculum and therefore is preferred for gynaecological surgeries. It is possible to slide the instrument around the vaginal wall to enable better visualization. The groove in the middle of Sims' speculum allows free flow of secretions and blood to the outside, thereby keeping the area dry. The disadvantage of Sims' speculum is that it is not self-retracting.

These speculums are smaller than the retractors of Doyen or Auvard and are indicated for children, young adolescents and small women.

Make sure the lateral edges remain blunt to prevent any risk of injury.
