The OB/GYN 3 1/4″ x 1 1/2″ Auvard Speculum 2 1/2 lbs is a specialized weighted vaginal speculum engineered to provide dependable posterior vaginal wall retraction during a variety of gynecological and obstetric surgical procedures. Designed to remain securely positioned by its integrated weight, this instrument creates a stable, hands-free operative field, allowing surgeons to perform procedures with greater efficiency and precision.

Widely used by gynecologists, obstetricians, urogynecologists, and pelvic surgeons, the Auvard Speculum is an essential instrument for vaginal hysterectomy, cervical surgery, pelvic reconstructive procedures, vaginal repairs, colporrhaphy, dilation and curettage (D&C), and other vaginal surgical interventions. Its weighted design minimizes the need for continuous manual retraction, freeing surgical assistants to perform other important tasks during the procedure.

This model features a 3¼-inch blade length and 1½-inch blade width, making it ideal for procedures requiring a more compact retractor while still providing effective exposure of the vaginal canal and cervix. The 2½-pound weighted handle applies consistent downward traction through gravity, maintaining stable posterior vaginal wall retraction and creating an unobstructed surgical field.

The smooth, anatomically contoured blade gently retracts tissue while minimizing unnecessary pressure on surrounding structures. Its carefully balanced design helps maintain consistent positioning throughout surgery, allowing surgeons to work comfortably with both hands free for instrumentation, suturing, or tissue manipulation.

The OB/GYN 3¼″ x 1½″ Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs is particularly valuable during procedures that require prolonged visualization and stable exposure. By eliminating the need for continuous manual support, the instrument improves workflow, enhances surgical efficiency, and contributes to a more organized operative environment.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the speculum provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term clinical performance. The satin-polished finish resists staining, minimizes glare under operating room lighting, and facilitates efficient cleaning after each procedure. Precision engineering ensures reliable weight distribution and structural integrity through repeated clinical use.

Designed for repeated professional applications, this weighted vaginal speculum is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its robust stainless steel construction maintains its polished finish, balanced weight, and functional performance through numerous sterilization cycles, making it a dependable choice for hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, gynecology clinics, and women’s healthcare facilities.

The OB/GYN 3¼″ x 1½″ Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs combines precision craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and durable construction to meet the demands of modern gynecological surgery. Its compact blade dimensions, stable weighted design, and reliable hands-free performance make it an indispensable instrument for a wide range of vaginal surgical procedures.
