Sklar Auvard Weighted Vaginal Speculum, Heavy
A heavy, self weighted vaginal speculum measuring 2-3/4 by 1-1/2 inches, used to retract the posterior vaginal wall hands free during gynecologic surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
The Sklar Auvard Weighted Vaginal Speculum is a self retaining vaginal speculum with a 2-3/4 by 1-1/2 inch blade and an overall length of 9 inches, weighted to 3 pounds so it holds back the posterior vaginal wall under its own weight without an assistant needing to grip it throughout the case. This hands free retraction is particularly useful during vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic organ prolapse repair, and other gynecologic procedures performed through a vaginal approach, where the surgical team benefits from freeing up hands for other tasks.
The speculum's weight and blade size are chosen to provide steady, reliable exposure of the vaginal vault throughout a lengthy procedure. This listing covers several configurations of the same instrument, giving surgical teams options to match patient anatomy and surgeon preference. It is a standard instrument in gynecologic and vaginal surgery trays, used by gynecologists and urogynecologists in hospital operating rooms, and is reprocessed for reuse after each case.
