Clinical Application
The Breisky (Wertheim) speculum is a vaginal retractor designed to provide controlled lateral retraction and exposure of the vaginal canal and fornices during gynecologic procedures. Its geometry supports deep pelvic exposure required for procedures such as Wertheim radical hysterectomy, vaginal cuff work, pelvic floor repairs, and intravaginal suturing or hemostasis. The 100 x 40 mm size provides reach toward the vaginal apex while maintaining a relatively narrow profile for working space in the surgical field.
Design & Configuration
The two-blade, blade-style configuration concentrates retraction along the lateral vaginal walls, improving visualization of the cervix, vaginal vault, and paravaginal tissues. The 100 mm length accommodates deeper dissection and exposure; the 40 mm width balances tissue retraction with preservation of working space. This geometry makes the instrument useful when targeted, lateral retraction is needed without wide circumferential dilation.
