Practical Retraction for Controlled Vaginal Access

The Sims vaginal retractor is a surgical instrument used to retract vaginal tissue and support access during examination or operative procedures. Its 2 3/4-inch length and 1-inch width provide a compact working profile for focused retraction, while the grip handle supports controlled positioning and adjustment during use. Designed for general surgery applications, it helps keep the operative field more accessible without adding unnecessary bulk to the instrument setup. The straightforward form supports deliberate handling, clear placement, and efficient instrument management within the surgical workflow.

• Retracting vaginal tissue to improve access to the intended operative area.
