The OB/GYN 4″ x 1 3/4″ Auvard Speculum 2 1/2 lbs is a specialized weighted vaginal speculum engineered to provide reliable hands-free retraction of the posterior vaginal wall during gynecological and obstetric procedures. Its weighted design allows the instrument to remain securely positioned by gravity, creating an unobstructed surgical field and eliminating the need for continuous manual assistance.

Widely used by gynecologists, obstetricians, urogynecologists, and pelvic surgeons, the Auvard Speculum is an essential instrument for vaginal hysterectomy, vaginal repair procedures, pelvic reconstructive surgery, cervical surgery, colporrhaphy, dilation and curettage (D&C), and numerous other vaginal surgical interventions. By maintaining consistent retraction, it improves visibility and provides easier access to the cervix, vaginal canal, and surrounding anatomical structures.

Featuring a 4-inch blade length and 1¾-inch blade width, this Auvard Speculum provides effective exposure while accommodating a wide range of gynecological procedures. The 2½-pound weighted handle keeps the speculum securely in position through gravity, allowing the posterior vaginal wall to remain retracted without requiring an assistant to hold the instrument. This hands-free functionality improves workflow and enables the surgical team to focus on the operative procedure.

The smooth, curved blade is designed to retract tissue gently while minimizing unnecessary pressure on surrounding structures. Its anatomically contoured profile promotes stable positioning and consistent exposure throughout the procedure, supporting accurate visualization and precise surgical manipulation.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the OB/GYN 4″ x 1¾″ Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical durability. The satin-polished finish resists staining, reduces glare from operating room lighting, and facilitates efficient cleaning after every procedure. Precision manufacturing ensures dependable performance and structural integrity even after repeated clinical use.

Designed for repeated professional use, this weighted vaginal speculum is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its robust stainless steel construction withstands repeated sterilization cycles without compromising weight balance, finish, or performance, making it a dependable instrument for hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, gynecology clinics, and medical teaching institutions.

The ergonomic design and balanced weight distribution contribute to reliable instrument stability throughout surgery. By maintaining consistent posterior vaginal wall retraction, the OB/GYN 4″ x 1¾″ Auvard Speculum 2½ lbs helps improve surgical efficiency, reduce assistant workload, and enhance visualization during complex vaginal procedures.

Combining precision engineering, durable construction, and dependable hands-free performance, this Auvard Speculum remains an indispensable instrument in modern obstetric and gynecological surgery.
