Auvard Vaginal Speculum 80x38mm 2-1/2 lbs

Clinical Application

Provides continuous vaginal wall retraction using a gravity-weighted blade to maintain exposure without mechanical ratcheting. Suited for gynecologic examinations and procedures that benefit from hands-free exposure, including minor operative procedures, postpartum inspection and repair, pessary removal, and preparatory exposure for intrauterine instrumentation.

Design & Configuration

The Auvard pattern features a broad, flat blade geometry designed to distribute retractive force and create a working channel to the introitus and vaginal canal. The added 2-1/2 lb weight supplies steady, downward traction so the assistant or surgeon can maintain exposure without continuous manual retraction. The blade dimensions (80x38 mm) provide a moderate aperture appropriate for many adult pelvic exams and minor operative procedures.
