Vaginal speculum GY0901

smoke evacuationsterilizable

Overview
The Graves Ebonized Vaginal Speculum is an advanced gynecological instrument engineered for CO₂ laser ablation, LEEP/LLETZ electrosurgery, and colposcopic interventions. Forged from medical-grade German stainless steel with a specialized matte black ebonized (PVD/TiN) finish, it absorbs stray laser energy and minimizes optical glare to protect healthy tissue and improve surgeon visibility. Select models include an integrated smoke evacuation channel to remove surgical plume during laser and electrosurgical procedures. The instrument is passivated for corrosion resistance and designed to withstand repeated high-temperature autoclave cycles up to 134°C. It is manufactured and certified in compliance with EU MDR (2017/745) and ISO 13485:2016 quality systems.

Key Features

• Laser-Safe Ebonized Finish: Specialized matte black PVD/TiN coating that absorbs stray CO₂ laser radiation and eliminates optical reflection under colposcopic light.
• Dual-Blade Adjustable Geometry: Broad, contoured duckbill blades with smooth, rounded edges that gently retain the vaginal walls while protecting mucosal tissue.
• Integrated Smoke Evacuation Channel: Dedicated smoke removal channel available on selected models for rapid plume evacuation during CO₂ laser ablation and electrosurgery.
• Self-Retaining Thumb-Screw Lock: Precision-threaded side screw mechanism holds blades securely open at desired positions, freeing the surgeon's hands during operations.
• German Medical-Grade Steel: Forged from high-tensile medical stainless steel for structural integrity in intense surgical environments.
• Advanced Passivation & Corrosion Defense: Deep passivation surface treatments to prevent oxidation, pitting, and surface degradation under heavy use.
• Autoclavable & Regulatory Compliance: Reusable and engineered to endure repeated autoclave cycles up to 134°C; compliant with EU MDR (2017/745) and certified under ISO 13485:2016.
• Lifetime Warranty: Covered by a comprehensive lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects, structural flaws, and material workmanship.

Applications & Uses

• CO₂ Laser Vaporization & Ablation: Absorbs reflected laser energy to prevent accidental thermal tissue damage during gynecological laser therapy.
• LEEP / LLETZ Interventions: Provides thermal protection, non-reflective exposure, and active smoke evacuation during electrosurgical loop excision procedures.
• Diagnostic Colposcopy & Cervical Biopsies: Maintains clear, glare-free exposure of the cervix and vaginal vault for precise optical evaluation.

Product Care

• Immediate Cleaning After Use: Begin cleaning at point of use to prevent biological residues from drying; use enzymatic sprays/gels as needed.
• Safe Handling & Transport: Transfer used instruments in sealed, puncture-resistant containers to the reprocessing area.
• Thorough Manual Cleaning: Scrub with soft brushes and approved detergents; pay attention to hinges, grooves, lumens, and locking mechanisms; rinse with purified water.
• Advanced Mechanical Cleaning: Use ultrasonic cleaners and automated washer-disinfectors following manufacturer instructions and correct instrument arrangement.
• Sterilization: Use appropriate sterilization method for device type (steam sterilization, ethylene oxide, hydrogen peroxide plasma, or dry heat) per manufacturer guidance.
• Residue Removal: Rinse instruments after gas sterilization to remove chemical residues.
• Drying & Lubrication: Ensure complete drying to prevent corrosion; lubricate hinges/joints with medical-grade water-soluble lubricant as recommended.
• Inspection & Functional Assessment: Inspect for cleanliness, structural condition, wear, cracks, chips, and operational performance; remove defective instruments for reprocessing or repair.
• Sterile Packaging & Storage: Package using pouches/wraps/rigid systems with seals and labels; store in clean, dry, controlled environments using FIFO inventory methods.
• Documentation & Quality Compliance: Maintain sterilization cycle records, equipment logs, biological monitoring, and traceability documentation to support audits and regulatory compliance.
