Sims Speculum is U shaped instrument made of high grade stainless steel and is used to examine the walls of vagina. The patient is normally placed lying on her left side with her knees drawn up to her chest - the Sims position. One arm of the speculum is inserted into the vagina and the operator pulls back on the other arm. The anterior (front) aspect of the vaginal canal can be retracted to visualize the posterior (back) wall and vice versa.
