Sims rigid 320mm (32cm) Uterine sounds

The Sims vaginal speculum and Sims uterine sound are named for James Marion Sims, the nineteenth-century American gynecologist who developed many of the techniques that defined modern gynecological surgery. The Sims speculum is a single-bladed retractor used to retract the posterior vaginal wall, exposing the cervix for examination or procedure. Sizes are typically small, medium, and large. Modern Sims specula are made from polished stainless steel with ergonomic handle designs. The pattern remains standard in office gynecology where single-blade retraction (rather than the bivalve Cusco) is preferred. Often used in conjunction with the Auvard weighted speculum during minor procedures.

Every instrument is forged, machined, and finished at the Sialkot facility from German-origin stainless billet — austenitic 304 / 316 grades for non-cutting, mucosal-contact, and hollow-ware lines where corrosion resistance is the priority, martensitic 420 / 440 grades for cutting and edge-retention patterns where heat-treatable hardness matters, and 17-4 PH precipitation-hardened stainless for high-load orthopedic and implant-handling applications. Polishing, passivation, and final inspection are performed in-house under documented quality procedures aligned with ISO 13485:2016.
