Graves Vaginal Speculum Medium | Stainless Steel Gynecology Instrument
What is this vaginal speculum?
This Graves Vaginal Speculum, medium size, is a double-blade duckbill instrument made from surgical-grade stainless steel. Clinicians insert the speculum closed, then open the blades using an external lever, while a screw lock holds the position in place. Consequently, this hands-free locking mechanism allows the practitioner to work with both hands free once the speculum sits correctly, which speeds up routine examinations.
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, which gives clearer visualisation of the cervix and vaginal walls during in-office procedures. Additionally, many practices keep multiple sizes on hand, since patient anatomy varies and a medium size suits the majority of adult patients.

How do I know if medium is the right size?
The medium Graves speculum suits most adult patients during routine examinations, sitting between the small size (used for narrower anatomy or first-time examinations) and the large size (used where a wider, deeper view is needed). Consequently, many clinics stock medium as their default size and keep small and large on hand for less typical cases.
Who should use this instrument?
This speculum suits gynecologists, obstetricians, general practitioners, sexual health clinics, and clinical staff performing 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.
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, so 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, which 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, so this instrument makes a dependable addition to any gynecology set.
