Sklar Alfonso Infant Eye Speculum
An infant eye lid speculum with interlacing blades and finger grips, used to gently hold the eyelids open during examination. It is built for repeated sterilisation and use across many cases.
The Sklar Alfonso Eye Speculum is an infant lid speculum designed to hold the eyelids open gently during ophthalmic examination or minor procedures on very young patients. Measuring 1-3/4 inches overall, its interlacing blades, sized at 5mm by 8mm, are scaled specifically to infant eye anatomy rather than adapted from an adult design, which reduces the risk of excessive pressure on the delicate periorbital tissue of a baby.
Built in finger grips give the practitioner precise manual control over blade spread, which reaches up to 25mm, allowing a controlled, incremental opening rather than a fixed or spring-driven action. Paediatric ophthalmologists and neonatal care teams use specula of this kind for eye examinations, screening and minor interventions where the infant cannot cooperate with an unsupported eyelid hold.
This is a single fixed configuration listing and is typically kept as a dedicated paediatric item within an ophthalmic examination or minor procedure tray.
