Murdoch Eye Lid Speculum, Without Locking Mechanism — Overview

The Murdoch Eye Lid Speculum without locking mechanism (SA-790-48) shares the same compact 5.75cm length, 15mm blade, and 20mm blade spread as the locking version, but relies purely on spring tension, for surgeons who prefer the simpler, unlocked mechanism over the added locking feature.

Standard Spring-Tensioned Design

Without the locking mechanism, this version behaves as a conventional self-retaining speculum — spring tension alone holds the blade position, which many surgeons find perfectly adequate for routine cases and prefer for its mechanical simplicity and one fewer moving part to maintain and inspect.

Compact Nasal-Approach Design

At 5.75cm total length with a 20mm spread and 15mm blade, this is a compact, general-purpose nasal-approach retractor suited to routine adult anterior segment procedures.

Clinical Use

This speculum is used in general cataract and anterior segment surgery as a straightforward, dependable retractor, for surgeons who don't need the locking feature of the companion Murdoch design.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, to the same compact, precisely tensioned standard as the locking version.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable. Routine pre-use inspection for blade deformation and reduced spring tension is standard practice.
