OB/GYN 5″ x 1 3/8″ De Vilbiss Vaginal Speculum Large

The OB/GYN 5″ × 1 3/8″ De Vilbiss Vaginal Speculum is a gynecological examination instrument designed to provide controlled vaginal exposure and visualization during compatible examinations and procedures. It features a 5-inch overall length, a 1 3/8-inch dimensional specification, and a large size configuration.

The De Vilbiss-style design provides a defined working profile for positioning within the vaginal field. Its configuration allows the clinician to maintain controlled access and visualization during appropriate gynecological applications.

Design and Configuration

The speculum features a 5-inch overall length and a 1 3/8-inch dimensional profile in a large configuration. Its working blades are designed to provide controlled separation and visualization.

The handle and blade assembly should provide stable manual control and appropriate positioning. Before use, inspect the instrument for proper alignment, surface integrity, cleanliness, and mechanical function.

Working-End Characteristics

The working blades provide a defined profile for controlled vaginal exposure. The large configuration offers a specific working size for applications where this size is appropriate.

The blade surfaces should remain smooth, properly formed, and free from visible cracks, deformation, corrosion, or other damage.

Gynecological Applications

The OB/GYN 5″ × 1 3/8″ De Vilbiss Vaginal Speculum may be used for compatible gynecological examinations and procedures requiring controlled vaginal exposure and visualization.

Specific instrument selection and clinical use should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional according to the procedure, patient requirements, and established clinical protocols.

Handling and Use Considerations

The 5-inch length provides a defined working profile while allowing controlled manual positioning. The speculum should be handled smoothly and without excessive force.

Before use, verify that the blades are properly aligned and that the instrument is clean, structurally intact, and free from visible damage or deformation.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

Clean the speculum promptly after use according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-cleaning procedure. Thoroughly clean the blades, hinge or adjustment areas, and other surfaces where residual material may accumulate.

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch or damage the instrument surface. After cleaning, inspect the speculum for residue, corrosion, deformation, and other visible defects.

Sterilization and Inspection

Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established sterilization protocol. Before each use, inspect the instrument for cleanliness, structural damage, corrosion, cracks, deformation, and proper mechanical function.

Any instrument with compromised structural integrity or functionality should be removed from service and evaluated according to institutional procedures.
