The Merit™ Pederson vaginal speculum is a gynecological instrument used for performing pelvic examinations, Pap smears, and examining the cervix. This double blade duckbill speculum is inserted with the blades closed.

Merit™ instruments are Sklar's office-grade line of products and most commonly utilized for routine and in-office minor procedures. These are crafted from Pakistan steel and come with a 10 year guarantee. Merit™ instruments deliver an economical solution for physicians and practices that require quality, durable instruments.

The blades are then opened by an external lever and screw. The blades of the Pederson Speculum are more narrow than the blades of the Graves Speculum. The practitioner can best determine which type and size speculum is most appropriate for the patient.
