Controlled Access with Two Blade Profiles
The Sims vaginal retractor is a double-ended surgical instrument used to help maintain access and support visualization during appropriate general surgery procedures. Its two blade profiles provide different working dimensions in one instrument: a 2 1/2-inch-deep by 1-inch-wide blade and a 3-inch-deep by 1 1/4-inch-wide blade. The concave handle supports a stable hand position during placement and adjustment, while the 6 5/8-inch overall length offers practical reach within the operative field. This configuration helps teams select the blade profile that best suits the access requirement without changing instruments during the task.
Use Cases
- Use the double-ended design when different blade depths or widths may be needed during a procedure.
- Employ the instrument to support access and visualization in appropriate vaginal or pelvic surgical work.
- Select the 2 1/2-inch-deep by 1-inch-wide blade for tasks suited to its narrower profile.
- Select the 3-inch-deep by 1 1/4-inch-wide blade when the broader or deeper blade profile is appropriate.
- Handle and reposition the retractor using its concave handle during operative setup and adjustment.
