Graves Vaginal Speculum Large | Stainless Steel Gynecology Instrument
What is this vaginal speculum?
This Graves Vaginal Speculum, large size, is a double-blade duckbill instrument made from surgical-grade stainless steel. Clinicians insert the speculum closed. They then open the blades using an external lever, while a screw lock holds the position in place. Consequently, this hands-free locking mechanism frees up both hands once the speculum sits correctly. As a result, routine examinations move faster.
What is a Graves speculum used for?
Doctors and gynecologists use the Graves speculum for pelvic examinations, cervical screening, Pap smears, IUD insertion and removal, and colposcopy. Compared with the Pederson speculum, the Graves design features wider blades. This gives clearer visualisation of the cervix and vaginal walls during in-office procedures. Additionally, the large size suits patients where a wider, deeper view is needed, or where a medium speculum falls short.

How do I know if large is the right size?
The large Graves speculum suits patients whose anatomy needs a wider or deeper blade than the medium size offers. Consequently, the clinician gets a fuller view of the cervix and vaginal walls. Many practices stock large alongside small and medium sizes for this reason. As a result, staff can match the instrument to each patient rather than relying on one default size.
Who should use this instrument?
This speculum suits gynecologists, obstetricians, general practitioners, sexual health clinics, and clinical staff who perform routine pelvic examinations or cervical screening. Additionally, its wider duckbill blades make it a practical choice where clear visualisation matters, such as during colposcopy referral examinations or postpartum checks.
How do I clean and sterilise this speculum?
Clean the instrument thoroughly after each use. Then autoclave it before use on a new patient, following your practice’s standard clinical sterilisation protocol. Since the stainless steel construction resists corrosion, it holds up well to repeated autoclave cycles. Consequently, the instrument stays reliable for long-term use.
Why choose this Graves speculum?
The screw lock mechanism gives practitioners precise, adjustable control over blade opening. This improves visibility during examination while keeping both hands free. Furthermore, the durable stainless steel build withstands the repeated sterilisation demands of a busy clinic or hospital setting. As a result, this instrument makes a dependable addition to any gynecology set.
