Steiner-Auvard vaginal speculum 5 1/2long x 1 1/4wide blade 2 1/2 lbs.

Controlled Access for General Surgical Procedures

The Steiner-Auvard vaginal speculum is designed to provide access and visualization during general surgical procedures involving the vaginal canal. Its 5 1/2-inch length supports working access within the operative field, while the 1 1/4-inch-wide blade offers a defined area for tissue retraction. The 2 1/2-pound weight can help maintain instrument position when the speculum is placed according to the clinician’s technique, reducing the need for continual manual support during portions of a procedure. This focused design supports organized instrument handling and a clear, practical approach to vaginal exposure in applicable surgical workflows.
