Speculum
Ophthalmic lid speculums made in Sialkot: Barraquer, Kratz-Barraquer, Lieberman, Castroviejo, Cook, Murdoch and femtosecond laser speculums in adult, infant and premature sizes.
Overview
More than 70 eyelid speculum patterns for cataract, refractive, glaucoma and retinal surgery: Barraquer and Kratz-Barraquer wire speculums (open, closed and solid blade; nasal or temporal approach), Lieberman adjustable and fixed speculums, Castroviejo, Cook, Williams, Murdoch and Lancaster locking speculums, aspirating speculums (Chu, Thorlakson), femtosecond and LASIK speculums (Crozafon, Varley, Murdoch-Slade), and infant and premature sizes. Scleral depressors are also listed here.
Materials & Grades
Speculums are stainless steel wire or solid blade, electro-polished; selected patterns are available in titanium (e.g. Wright). Adjustable models use a locking screw or nut to hold the aperture.
Buying Guide
Choosing a lid speculum:
• Approach — nasal-approach speculums keep the frame away from a temporal incision, and vice versa.
• Blade — open wire blades allow lashes to be tucked; solid or closed blades isolate lashes and meibomian glands more completely.
• Fixed vs adjustable — Barraquer wire speculums are fast and light; Lieberman, Cook and Williams locking speculums hold a set aperture for longer cases.
• Patient size — infant and premature Barraquer, Alphonso and Lieberman versions are available.
• Laser platforms — femtosecond speculums are shaped to clear the patient interface.
Comparison
| Sub-type | Best for |
|---|---|
| Barraquer wire speculum | Quick, light exposure for routine anterior segment surgery |
| Lieberman adjustable speculum | Wide, stable exposure with a locking aperture |
| Aspirating speculum | Keeping the field dry during surgery |
| Femtosecond / LASIK speculum | Clearing the laser suction interface |
| Infant & premature speculums | Paediatric and neonatal examinations and surgery |
Category FAQ
What is the difference between nasal and temporal approach speculums?
The frame sits on the opposite side from the surgeon's approach, so a temporal-approach speculum leaves the temporal side clear for a temporal incision and a nasal-approach speculum leaves the nasal side clear.
Do you make infant eye speculums?
Yes — infant and premature infant versions of the Barraquer, Alphonso, Lieberman and Kratz-Barraquer speculums are available.
