Speculums

What's in this range

Eye specula for lid retraction during eye surgery - Barraquer, Lieberman, Murdoch, Cook and Castroviejo patterns, in wire and solid-blade designs, across adult and paediatric sizes.

About the patterns

Barraquer and Kratz-Barraquer specula use a spring-tensioned wire loop for the blades, giving a light, low-profile hold. Lieberman-style specula have an adjustable locking mechanism so the aperture can be fixed once set. Murdoch and Cook specula use a locking screw to fix the blade separation at a chosen width. Castroviejo and Double-X patterns are solid-blade designs generally used where a firmer hold is needed.

Used with

Specula are typically paired with forceps and scissors for the procedure itself, and often listed as the first item in a cataract instrument set.
