Steiner Auvard Vaginal Spec. 140x35mm 2.5 lbs

Clinical Application

The weighted Auvard speculum provides stable, hands-free retraction of the vaginal walls to expose the operative field during gynecologic procedures. Common uses include examination under anesthesia, removal of vaginal packing, posterior repair, minor vaginal surgical procedures, and any case where sustained downward traction of the vaginal apex or walls is required. The weighted design reduces the need for an assistant to maintain retraction, allowing improved access for inspection, instrumentation, suturing and placement of dressings.

Design & Configuration

This single-blade, weighted retractor design applies consistent downward traction to maintain exposure. The 140x35 mm footprint provides deeper canal access while limiting lateral bulk, helping preserve visibility in narrow introitus or when working in a confined field. The weight (2.5 lbs) stabilizes retraction without manual hold, and the streamlined blade minimizes interference with instrumentation and visualization.
