Auvard Vaginal Speculum 68x40mm 3lbs

Clinical Application

Provides sustained vaginal wall retraction and exposure of the vaginal canal and cervix for a range of gynecologic procedures. Common uses include operative and diagnostic procedures where hands-free, gravity-assisted retraction improves access—examples include dilation and curettage, cervical procedures, vaginal repairs, pack placement, and other minor procedures performed in the vaginal vault.

Design & Configuration

The weighted, gravity-retractor design maintains consistent downward traction on the vaginal walls, reducing the need for continual manual retraction and freeing an assistant’s hands. The 68 x 40 mm aperture offers a moderate working opening suitable for general gynecologic exposure. The added mass (3 lbs) increases stability during procedures in which tissue needs to be held out of the operative field without clamps or additional holding devices.
