The OB/GYN Auvard Speculum 2 1/2 lbs Fixed Weight is a specialized weighted vaginal retractor designed to provide consistent posterior vaginal wall retraction during gynecological and obstetric procedures. Its self-retaining design utilizes a 2½-pound fixed weight to maintain stable retraction without continuous manual assistance, allowing surgeons to achieve optimal visualization of the operative field while improving procedural efficiency.

Widely used by gynecologists, obstetricians, urogynecologists, and pelvic surgeons, the Auvard Speculum is an indispensable instrument for vaginal surgery and pelvic examinations requiring unobstructed access to the cervix and vaginal canal. It is commonly utilized during vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic reconstructive surgery, cervical procedures, vaginal repair, prolapse surgery, colporrhaphy, and other gynecological operations where stable tissue retraction is essential.

The weighted design automatically retracts the posterior vaginal wall through gravity, creating a clear surgical field while reducing the need for an assistant to hold a conventional retractor. This hands-free functionality improves surgical workflow, enhances visibility, and allows the surgical team to focus on precise tissue handling and operative techniques.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the OB/GYN Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs Fixed Weight is engineered for exceptional durability and long-term clinical reliability. The corrosion-resistant construction withstands repeated sterilization cycles without compromising structural integrity or performance. A smooth satin finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting while providing a surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

The carefully contoured blade is designed to comfortably retract the posterior vaginal wall while providing broad exposure of the operative site. Its balanced 2½-pound fixed weight maintains consistent retraction throughout the procedure without requiring frequent repositioning. Precision engineering ensures excellent stability, allowing surgeons to perform delicate gynecological procedures with improved confidence and control.

Suitable for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, maternity hospitals, women’s health clinics, urogynecology practices, and teaching institutions, the Auvard Speculum is a trusted component of professional OB/GYN surgical instrument sets. Its robust construction and dependable performance make it ideal for both routine and advanced vaginal surgical procedures.

Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully reusable and compatible with standard hospital sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its premium stainless steel construction resists corrosion, staining, and wear, ensuring reliable performance and extended service life in demanding clinical environments.

Whether used during vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic floor reconstruction, cervical surgery, or other vaginal procedures, the OB/GYN Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs Fixed Weight delivers the stability, visibility, and durability healthcare professionals expect from premium gynecological surgical instruments.
