Lehner Lid Wire Speculum, Temporal Approach — Overview

The Lehner Lid Wire Speculum, Temporal Approach (SA-780-51) is a compact eyelid retractor with a 3.8cm overall length, an 18mm blade spread, and a 14mm open wire blade, sized toward the smaller, lower-profile end of the adult speculum range.

Compact, Low-Profile Design

At just 3.8cm in overall length with an 18mm spread, this is one of the more compact wire specula in the range, suited to procedures where a minimal instrument footprint around the eye is preferred, or where the surgeon wants a lighter, less obtrusive retractor for a routine, shorter case.

Temporal Approach Configuration

The instrument body is positioned to clear the temporal quadrant, the configuration preferred for temporal-incision cataract surgery and similar approaches where the surgeon's primary working instruments or hand approach from the temporal side.

14mm Open Wire Blade

The 14mm open wire blade gives a moderate exposure width with the lower-pressure contact characteristic of wire, rather than solid, blade designs, suited to routine anterior segment cases where a gentler retraction profile is preferred.

Clinical Use

This speculum is used in general cataract and anterior segment surgery performed via a temporal approach, where a compact, lower-profile wire retractor is preferred over a larger or wider-spread instrument.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, to the corrosion-resistant, precisely tensioned standard expected of a self-retaining retractor.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. Given its compact scale, routine pre-use inspection for wire deformation or reduced spring tension is particularly important, alongside checking the open blade end for burrs.
