Sklar Barraquer Wire Speculum, Child and Adult
A 1-1/2 inch wire speculum with fenestrated or solid blades in 10mm child and 15mm adult diameters, used to hold eyelids open during eye surgery.
The Sklar Barraquer Wire Speculum is a 1-1/2 inch wire lid speculum offered in child and adult profiles, with fenestrated or solid blade patterns at 10mm and 15mm diameters respectively, used to hold the eyelids open for clear surgical access during ophthalmic procedures. The fenestrated blade option allows light to pass through for better visualisation, while the solid blade offers a different tactile feel some surgeons prefer, and having both child and adult sizes lets the surgical team match the speculum to the patient's eyelid dimensions rather than using a single size across all ages.
This listing is treated separately from the infant diameter-only version of the Barraquer Wire Speculum, since these child and adult variants differ by a fuller combination of size, diameter, and blade pattern rather than diameter alone. It is used by ophthalmic and pediatric ophthalmic surgeons across cataract, corneal, and other eye procedures, and is a standard component of ophthalmic surgical trays, reprocessed between cases following routine sterilization.
