Sims vaginal speculum
Double-bladed (duckbill), single-handled retractor, distinct from the bivalve Cusco speculum already catalogued; its central groove lets blood or secretions drain freely.
How it is used
Preferred over the Cusco speculum for vaginal surgery (greater vaginal wall exposure), posterior wall retraction, cervical biopsies, IUD insertion, or D&C.
