Steiner Auvard Vaginal Speculum Laser 140x35mm 2.5 lbs

Clinical Application

This Auvard-style vaginal speculum is designed to provide sustained posterior vaginal wall retraction and wide exposure of the vaginal canal and introitus. It is commonly used during vaginal surgeries and procedures where gravity-assisted, self-retaining retraction improves visualization and access — for example, pelvic organ prolapse repairs, anterior/posterior colporrhaphy, vaginal hysterectomy exposure, inspection and repair of vaginal tears, and other gynecologic procedures requiring clear access to the vaginal apex and posterior fornix.

Design & Configuration

The weighted, single-blade design delivers constant downward traction without the need for continuous manual retraction, freeing an assistant and stabilizing the operative field. The 140 x 35 mm blade profile offers extended reach and a narrow footprint to engage and depress the posterior vaginal wall while minimizing tissue bunching. The mass (2.5 lbs) provides counter-traction that is particularly useful in cases with significant prolapse or when additional exposure is required in deeper vaginal canals.
