Auvard Vaginal Speculum 80x38mm 2.lbs

Clinical Application

This weighted Auvard vaginal speculum provides reliable downward retraction of the posterior vaginal wall to expose the posterior fornix, cervix and posterior cul-de-sac. It is used during gynecologic and obstetric procedures requiring sustained, hands-free exposure—examples include posterior repair, perineorrhaphy, examination under anesthesia, vaginal packing, and procedures where gravity-assisted retraction improves visualization and access.

Design & Configuration

The Auvard pattern features a broad, flat blade with an integrated distal weight that applies gravity-assisted traction. The weighted design stabilizes the vagina without continuous manual retraction, freeing an assistant and reducing hand fatigue during prolonged cases. The 80x38 mm blade dimension offers moderate surface area to distribute pressure and provide controlled retraction suitable for many adult patients; selection of size should be matched to patient anatomy and procedural requirements.
