Kratz Barraquer Wire Speculum with Wings for General Surgery and Ophthalmic Procedures

Controlled Retraction for General and Ophthalmic Procedures

The Kratz Barraquer Wire Speculum with Wings is a surgical speculum designed to provide hands-free retraction and maintain access to the operative field during general surgery and ophthalmic procedures. Its wire construction and winged configuration support controlled placement while helping keep surrounding tissue or eyelid margins out of the working area, allowing the clinician to concentrate on the task at hand. The open design can support direct visualization and instrument access where a stable retracted field is needed. Suitable for procedure-specific workflows, this instrument offers a practical approach to maintaining exposure without relying on continuous manual retraction.

Use Cases

• Support retraction and operative-field access during general surgical procedures.
• Assist with eyelid retraction during ophthalmic procedures.
• Maintain exposure while leaving the working area accessible for procedural instruments.
• Use the winged configuration to support positioning and handling during placement and adjustment.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the wire frame and wings before and after use for bending, damage, or other changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the speculum carefully to help preserve the shape and alignment of its wire and winged components.
• Store in a manner that protects the instrument from impact, distortion, and contamination.
