The OB/GYN Steiner Auvard Vaginal Speculum 2 1/2 lbs is a specialized weighted vaginal speculum designed to provide dependable hands-free retraction of the posterior vaginal wall during gynecological and obstetric surgical procedures. Combining the proven functionality of the Auvard pattern with the Steiner modification, this instrument offers stable tissue retraction, enhanced visualization, and greater surgical efficiency in vaginal operations.

Widely used by gynecologists, obstetricians, urogynecologists, and pelvic surgeons, the Steiner-Auvard Vaginal Speculum is an essential instrument for vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic reconstructive surgery, colporrhaphy, cervical procedures, vaginal repairs, and other operative gynecological interventions. Its weighted construction enables the instrument to remain securely in place through gravity, allowing surgeons to work without requiring continuous manual retraction by an assistant.

The 2½-pound weighted design provides consistent downward traction, effectively retracting the posterior vaginal wall while maintaining an unobstructed view of the cervix and vaginal canal. This hands-free functionality creates additional working space within the operative field, improving visualization and allowing surgeons to perform procedures with greater precision and efficiency.

The smoothly contoured blade is designed to provide atraumatic tissue retraction while distributing pressure evenly across the vaginal wall. Its anatomical shape promotes stable positioning throughout the procedure and helps minimize unnecessary tissue stress, contributing to safe and effective surgical exposure.

The OB/GYN Steiner-Auvard Vaginal Speculum 2½ lbs is particularly valuable during procedures that require both hands for surgical manipulation, suturing, or instrumentation. By maintaining consistent exposure without manual support, the instrument improves workflow and enhances the efficiency of the surgical team.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Steiner-Auvard Vaginal Speculum delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting clinical performance. The satin-polished finish minimizes glare under operating room lighting, resists staining, and facilitates thorough cleaning after each procedure. Precision engineering ensures reliable balance, structural integrity, and dependable performance through repeated clinical use.

Designed for reusable professional applications, this weighted vaginal speculum is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization. Its robust stainless steel construction maintains its weight distribution, polished finish, and structural strength through repeated sterilization cycles, making it an excellent choice for hospitals, outpatient surgical centers, gynecology clinics, and teaching institutions.

The ergonomic design and balanced weight enhance instrument stability while reducing the need for additional assistance during surgery. The OB/GYN Steiner-Auvard Vaginal Speculum 2½ lbs combines precision engineering, durable construction, and reliable hands-free functionality to support modern gynecological surgical practice.
