The Sims Vaginal Retractors are specialized gynecological surgical retractors designed for controlled vaginal retraction and exposure during professional examinations and operative procedures. The Sims pattern provides a dedicated working blade that can be positioned to retract the vaginal wall while the clinician maintains direct manual control of the instrument.

The current Peak Surgicals range is manufactured from German stainless steel and is supplied in multiple blade-size configurations. Available options include 3" × 1¼" (7.6 × 3.2 cm) and 3½" × 1½" (8.9 × 3.8 cm), allowing the required size to be selected according to the procedure and instrument-set requirements.

Sims Vaginal Retractor Design

The Sims pattern is a manually controlled vaginal retractor used to maintain access within the gynecological operative or examination field. Its dedicated retractor blade provides a defined surface for displacement of the vaginal wall while the handle remains accessible to the clinician or surgical assistant.

Unlike a self-retaining speculum, a handheld Sims retractor requires manual positioning during use. The amount and direction of retraction should be selected according to the patient's anatomy, procedure, and clinician preference.

3-Inch × 1¼-Inch Blade Option

The first listed configuration is PS-2483, with a working size of 3 inches × 1¼ inches (7.6 × 3.2 cm).

This smaller configuration provides an option for gynecological instrument sets requiring a more compact Sims vaginal retractor blade. Selection should be based on the required working dimensions rather than assuming that one blade size is appropriate for every procedure.

3½-Inch × 1½-Inch Blade Option

The larger listed configuration is PS-2484, measuring 3½ inches × 1½ inches (8.9 × 3.8 cm).

The increased blade dimensions provide an alternative when a larger retraction surface is required. Buyers should confirm the desired size code when placing an order to ensure the correct Sims configuration is supplied.

Designed for Vaginal Retraction

The primary function of the Sims Vaginal Retractor is controlled retraction of the vaginal wall to maintain visibility and access during appropriate gynecological procedures.

The exact method of placement, direction of retraction, and duration of use should be determined by appropriately trained clinical personnel according to the examination or surgical procedure being performed.

Gynecology and Obstetric Instrument Sets

Sims vaginal retractors are established instruments within gynecology and obstetric surgical inventories. They may be incorporated into procedure-specific sets where manual vaginal-wall retraction and surgical exposure are required.

The required blade size should be selected according to anatomy, procedure, working depth, and clinician preference.

German Stainless Steel Construction

The current Peak Surgicals specification identifies German stainless steel as the material used for this instrument range. The rigid metallic construction provides the structure required for a reusable handheld surgical retractor.

The exact stainless-steel alloy grade is not stated on the current product page. Hospitals, gynecology departments, distributors, and procurement teams requiring a specific alloy designation or supporting material documentation should confirm that information before ordering.

Reusable Surgical Retractor

Peak Surgicals identifies the Sims Vaginal Retractors as reusable. Following clinical use, the instrument should be cleaned, inspected, and reprocessed according to applicable manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility's validated procedures.

Before subsequent use, inspect the blade, shaft, handle, and all instrument surfaces for retained contamination, corrosion, deformation, surface damage, or other conditions that could affect normal retraction.

Satin, Dull and Mirror Finish Options

The current product specification lists satin, dull, and mirror finish options. These provide different surface-finish choices for hospitals, surgical facilities, distributors, and buyers matching existing gynecology instrument sets.

If a specific finish is required, the selected finish should be confirmed when ordering.

Buyers requiring exact overall instrument length, handle dimensions, stainless-steel alloy grade, or other technical measurements should confirm those details before ordering.
