Doyen Vaginal Retractor (Product Code: SLE/SI/11) is a gynaecological retractor used to expose the vaginal cavity in gynaecology theatres and maternity units. Gynaecologists and obstetric teams rely on its broad blade, approximately 45 mm wide and 85 mm long, whose lateral edges must be blunt so the vaginal walls are held back without being cut. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which handles lab equipment export from India as well as domestic orders.

Specifications

What Is the Doyen Vaginal Retractor Used For?

The Doyen retractor is placed against one vaginal wall and held by an assistant so the operator can see into, and work within, the vaginal cavity. It is often paired with a second retractor or a weighted posterior blade, such as the Auvard pattern, so that both walls are held apart during gynaecological procedures.

The broad blade spreads pressure over a wide area, while the blunt lateral edges avoid cutting or pinching the tissue. Before every use, run a gloved finger along the edges to confirm they are still smooth and free of burrs. Midwifery schools and nursing faculties that buy lab equipment for college teaching in India also use the retractor on pelvic training models to show correct positioning.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies the Doyen Vaginal Retractor from Ambala, Haryana, to maternity hospitals, gynaecology departments, training institutions and importers. Gynaecology instruments are usually bought as a group, so your enquiry can combine retractors, specula, uterine forceps and sounds for one quotation.

Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades (Product Code: SLE/SI/12) is a self-holding abdominal retractor used to keep skin, fatty tissue, muscle and viscera drawn back after the incision so the operative field stays exposed during abdominal surgery. General surgeons and obstetric teams value its locking mechanism, two mobile side blades and removable middle blade, which open a wound to approximately 100 mm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment exporter from India.

Specifications

What Is the Collin Abdominal Retractor Used For?

Once the abdominal wall is opened, the two side blades are placed against the wound edges and spread apart, and the lock holds them there without an assistant. The middle blade can then be fitted to hold back the lower or upper end of the wound, or left off when it is not needed. This frees the assistant's hands for suction, swabbing or handing instruments during a laparotomy or caesarean section.

Open the frame gradually rather than to its full 100 mm span at once, and release the lock before removing the blades. Operating-room technicians should practise fitting and releasing the middle blade on the bench; surgical skills courses often cover this as part of lab equipment training in India before staff use the retractor in theatre.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity of complete retractors, each with its three blades
• Any spare middle blades you wish to discuss, since that blade is removable
• Whether you also want the Balfour three-blade pattern quoted for comparison
• Other abdominal instruments for the same set

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, supplies the Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades from Ambala, Haryana, to general and maternity hospitals, surgical departments, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does self-holding mean on the Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades?
Self-holding means the Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades has a locking mechanism that keeps the blades open once they are set. The retractor holds the wound edges apart on its own, so no assistant needs to pull on it throughout the operation.

How wide can the Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades open a wound?
The Collin Abdominal Retractor 3 Blades gives a maximum wound opening of approximately 100 mm. The two side blades are mobile and are spread to the required width before the lock is engaged.

Yankauer Suction Tube (Product Code: SLE/SI/13) is a curved, rigid suction instrument used to aspirate fluids and secretions from the operative area in hospital theatres. Surgeons, anaesthetists and scrub nurses connect it to a suction source; this version has a removable tip and a tubing connector, is approximately 27 cm long and comes in a diameter of approximately 6 mm or 8 mm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to hospitals and lab equipment distributors in India and abroad.

Specifications

What Is the Yankauer Suction Tube Used For?

The Yankauer is the standard hand-held suction wand of the operating theatre. Connected by tubing to a suction pump, it clears blood, irrigation fluid and secretions so the surgeon keeps a clear view, and the same pattern is used to clear the mouth and throat during anaesthesia and resuscitation. Its curve lets the user reach round structures while the hand stays out of the line of sight.

Because the tip and connector come off, the channels can be taken apart for thorough cleaning after each case; flush the tube straight after use so secretions do not dry inside. Choose the 8 mm diameter where larger volumes must be cleared and the 6 mm for finer work. When you enquire, mention any lab equipment spare parts you would like quoted, such as extra tips, so they can be considered with the main order.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Diameter: approximately 6 mm or approximately 8 mm (or how many of each)
• Total quantity per theatre or ward
• The suction pump and tubing the tube will be connected to
• Any additional tips you want priced

Double Ended Probe (Product Code: SLE/SI/14) is a slender surgical probe and dilator used to explore a surgical wound or to follow the path of a fistula in operating theatres and minor-procedure rooms. Surgeons choose it for its fine 2 mm diameter and bulbous tip at both ends, on an instrument approximately 145 mm long. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to hospitals and alongside lab equipment for technical institutes and medical colleges.

Specifications

What Is a Double Ended Probe Used For?

A surgical probe lets the operator feel the depth and direction of a wound track or sinus without cutting. The rounded, bulbous ends are designed to follow an existing channel rather than create a new one, which is why the probe is used to trace a fistula from its outer opening before it is laid open or treated. With a bulb at each end, either end can be used.

Advance the probe gently along the natural path and never force it, as the instrument is meant to explore, not to pierce. After use, check that the shaft is straight and the bulbs are smooth. For school biology practicals, departments building a dissection kit for schools in India normally choose a simpler chrome dissecting probe instead of this surgical instrument.

Supplier

The Double Ended Probe is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, surgical training units, distributors and importers.

Visit our company profile for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Double Ended Probe used for in surgery?
The Double Ended Probe is used to explore a surgical wound or to follow the path of a fistula. It works as a probe and dilator, letting the surgeon judge the depth and direction of a track without cutting tissue.

What are the dimensions of the Double Ended Probe?
The Double Ended Probe has a diameter of 2 mm and a length of approximately 145 mm. The fine gauge suits narrow tracks, and the length gives enough reach while keeping the instrument easy to control.

Why does the Double Ended Probe have bulbous ends?
The Double Ended Probe has a bulbous shape at both ends so it slides along an existing channel instead of piercing tissue. Having a bulb at each end means either end of the probe can be used.

What material is the Double Ended Probe made from?
The Double Ended Probe is made from non-quenched, non-magnetic austenitic steel with 16 to 18% chromium, 10 to 14% nickel and 2 to 3% molybdenum.

Is the Double Ended Probe the same as a biology dissecting probe?
No, the Double Ended Probe is a surgical instrument with a fine 2 mm shaft and bulbous ends. School biology dissection usually uses a simpler dissecting probe, such as our Probe, Chrome, listed in the dissection range.

Sterile Disposable Scalpel Blade No. 22 (Product Code: SLE/SI/15) is a single-use surgical blade used as the basic cutting instrument for surgical incisions in operating theatres and procedure rooms. Surgeons and theatre staff fit it to a standard scalpel handle; the blade is martensitic steel hardened to 50 to 58 HRC and initially sterilised with ethylene oxide gas. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its disposable lab equipment and hospital consumables range.

Specifications

What Is the No. 22 Scalpel Blade Used For?

A No. 22 blade has a large, curved cutting edge and is used for making skin incisions and other straightforward cuts where a broad belly of blade is useful. Because it is disposable, a fresh, sharp blade is opened for each patient and discarded afterwards, so there is no resharpening or reprocessing of the cutting edge.

The supplier's safety instructions are specific: wear gloves, always fit the blade to the handle and remove it with forceps rather than fingers, use aseptic technique, and put used blades into a sealed container to prevent injuries. Those sealed containers are then collected and destroyed by incineration in a controlled environment. As a lab consumables supplier in India, we can quote nitrile gloves and sharps containers in the same offer as the blades.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Blade number (this listing is No. 22) and total quantity required
• The scalpel handle you use, so the fitting can be confirmed
• Pack size preferences, which we will confirm in the quotation
• Sharps containers or gloves to be quoted with the blades

Scalpel Handle No. 3 (Product Code: SLE/SI/16) is a reusable bistoury handle used to hold an interchangeable blade for surgical incisions in hospitals, clinics and surgical training labs. Surgeons select a handle by its number, which describes the shape of the distal end and so decides which blades it takes; this No. 3 handle is approximately 13.5 cm long. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, one of the educational laboratory instrument suppliers serving medical and nursing colleges.

Specifications

What Is a No. 3 Scalpel Handle Used For?

A scalpel handle turns a detachable blade into a controllable cutting instrument. The blade slides onto the fitting at the distal end, is used for the incision, and is then removed and discarded while the handle is cleaned and used again. Because the fitting differs between handle numbers, a No. 3 handle only accepts blades made for that fitting, so check blade and handle numbers together before ordering either.

The approximately 13.5 cm length suits fine, pen-grip work on the surface. Always load and unload blades with forceps, and put removed blades straight into a sharps container. Colleges buying school and college lab equipments for anatomy or zoology dissection can also choose the handle listed in our dissection range.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Handle number required (this listing is No. 3) and quantity
• The blade numbers you intend to use, so we can confirm they fit a No. 3 handle
• Whether blades, forceps or sharps containers should be quoted with the handles

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Scalpel Handle No. 3 from Ambala, Haryana, to hospitals, surgical skills centres, medical and veterinary teaching departments, and distributors. Because handles are reused and blades are consumed, many buyers place one handle order and arrange blade supplies separately; both can be discussed in the same enquiry.

Mayo Hegar Needle Holder Straight (Product Code: SLE/SI/17) is an 18 cm straight needle holder used to grip suture needles while stitching in operating theatres, emergency rooms and suturing workshops. Surgeons and trainees rely on its ridged jaws, a longitudinal groove that protects the needle from deterioration, and a ratchet that sets the grip at varying tightness. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India for hospitals and clinical skills labs.

Specifications

What Is the Mayo Hegar Needle Holder Used For?

A needle holder clamps a curved suture needle so it can be driven through tissue with a controlled wrist rotation. The Mayo Hegar pattern looks like a short, heavy-jawed forceps: the ridged jaws stop the needle from twisting, the longitudinal groove seats it without flattening it, and the ratchet holds the chosen grip so the surgeon does not need to squeeze throughout each bite.

Grip the needle about two-thirds of the way back from the point, engage only the first notches of the ratchet for finer needles, and release fully before repositioning. The instrument is also used for instrument-tied knots. Medical and nursing colleges choosing lab equipment for college suturing practice in India pair it with toothed forceps and suture scissors at each student station.

Museux Uterine Forceps Curved (Product Code: SLE/SI/18) is a toothed uterine traction forceps, of the vulsellum or tenaculum type, used to grip and immobilise thick tissue in gynaecology theatres and procedure rooms. Gynaecologists use its sideways curve, 2 x 2 precisely adjusted teeth on 8-10 mm jaws and lockable hard ratchet on a 24 cm instrument. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab equipment exporter in India serving hospitals and training institutions.

Specifications

What Are Museux Uterine Forceps Used For?

Museux forceps take hold of the cervix or other firm tissue and let the operator apply steady traction, so the uterus is straightened and held still for sounding, dilatation or curettage. The paired teeth bite into thick tissue and the hard ratchet keeps the grip locked while the instrument is under tension. The sideways curve keeps the handles away from the line of sight through a speculum.

Close the ratchet only as far as needed to hold the tissue, and inspect the teeth after each use to be sure they still meet evenly, since precise tooth alignment is what gives these forceps a secure bite. Hospitals issuing a lab equipment tender in India for gynaecology sets can list the Museux alongside specula, sounds and dilators.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, to maternity hospitals, gynaecology departments, midwifery schools and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Museux Uterine Forceps Curved used for?
Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are used to grip and immobilise thick tissue as uterine traction forceps. They hold the tissue steady so the operator can apply controlled traction during gynaecological procedures such as sounding, dilatation or curettage.

How many teeth do the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have?
The Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have 2 x 2 teeth with precise adjustment, so the teeth of each jaw meet cleanly. Paired teeth give a secure bite in thick tissue while traction is applied.

What are the dimensions of the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved?
The Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are 24 cm long with jaws of 8-10 mm. They are curved sideways, which keeps the handles out of the operator's line of sight during the procedure.

Do the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved lock?
Yes, the Museux Uterine Forceps Curved have a hard, lockable ratchet. Once closed on the tissue, the ratchet holds the grip so traction can be maintained without the user squeezing the handles.

How do Museux and Duplay uterine forceps differ?
Museux Uterine Forceps Curved are 24 cm long, curved sideways, with 2 x 2 teeth, while the Duplay Uterine Forceps Curved are longer and double curved. Both are traction forceps of the vulsellum or tenaculum type.
