Colposcopists and gynecological oncologists who perform colposcopy, cervical biopsy, and LEEP procedures will find the Graves design’s wider blade profile provides adequate visualization of the cervix and vaginal walls during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Urgent care centers and emergency departments that perform gynecological examinations as part of acute care will find the stainless steel Graves speculum a reliable, reusable instrument for pelvic examination in a variety of clinical presentations. Planned Parenthood clinics, community health centers, and reproductive health practices that perform high volumes of pelvic examinations and cervical screenings will find the autoclavable stainless steel construction cost-effective for repeated use across a large patient population.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Graves and a Pederson speculum?
The Graves speculum has a wider, more rounded blade profile that provides broader vaginal access, making it better suited for parous patients (those who have given birth vaginally) and patients with a larger vaginal canal. The Pederson speculum has a narrower, flatter blade profile that is better suited for nulliparous patients or those with a smaller or more sensitive vaginal canal. Your healthcare provider will select the appropriate speculum type and size based on your anatomy and clinical presentation.

Is this speculum reusable?
Yes. The stainless steel construction allows the Graves speculum to be autoclaved for sterilization and reused across multiple patients. Follow your facility’s instrument reprocessing protocols for cleaning, sterilization, and storage between uses.

Is this speculum available in other sizes?
Yes. The Graves vaginal speculum is available in multiple sizes. Contact our customer service team for information on other available sizes if your clinical needs require a different size than medium.
