Sauer Lid Speculum, Solid Blade — Overview

The Sauer Lid Speculum, Solid Blade (SA-790-02 family) is available in an unusually wide range for a solid-blade design, spanning 4mm, 6mm, and 12mm sizes, covering everything from a very compact, low-profile instrument up to a general adult exposure width within one design family.

Wide Size Range: 4mm to 12mm

The 4mm and 6mm sizes are notably small — smaller than most general adult solid-blade specula and closer to infant or highly compact-use scale — while the 12mm size covers standard adult anterior segment use. This spread lets a facility stock a single design family across a much broader range of patient sizes and procedure needs than most single-name speculum designs offer.

Clinical Use

The smaller 4mm and 6mm sizes suit procedures needing a very compact, minimal-footprint solid blade retractor, including select pediatric-adjacent or highly space-constrained cases, while the 12mm size serves routine general adult anterior segment and cataract surgery.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with spring tension calibrated appropriately across this unusually wide size range.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable across all sizes. Given how compact the 4mm and 6mm versions are, pre-use inspection for blade deformation and spring tension is particularly important at those sizes.

Ordering

The Sauer Lid Speculum, Solid Blade, is available as SA-790-41 (4mm), SA-790-44 (6mm), and SA-790-40 (12mm). Scatter Instruments supplies this range internationally to hospitals, surgery centers, and distributors, with bulk pricing and OEM or private-label branding available on request.
