4 x 1 3/4 Auvard Speculum 2 1/2 lbs

Weighted Auvard Speculum for Controlled Surgical Exposure

The 4" x 1 3/4" Auvard Speculum is a weighted vaginal speculum used to maintain surgical exposure during procedures requiring access to the vaginal canal. Its Auvard pattern and 2 1/2 lb weight provide a substantial, self-retaining design that can help reduce the need for continuous manual holding during appropriate general surgery workflows. The stated dimensions support selection when a specific instrument size is required, while the weighted format can help organize the operative field and leave the surgical team greater freedom to focus on surrounding tasks. Use should follow the clinician’s judgment and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Maintain vaginal retraction during surgical procedures requiring access through the vaginal canal.
• Support self-retaining exposure when a weighted Auvard-style speculum is appropriate for the operative approach.
• Use the 4" x 1 3/4" dimensions when matching the instrument to a planned exposure requirement.
• Incorporate into general surgery workflows where controlled retraction and organized access are needed.
