Stevenson Eye Speculum

Description

Stevenson Eye Speculum

The Stevenson eye speculum is a 7 cm lid holder for adult eye work. It keeps both lids apart so the cornea and conjunctiva stay in view. Many teams keep it as a second mid-size option next to other 7 cm patterns.

Stevenson or another 7 cm design?

Several of our specula share the 7 cm size, including the Mueller and the Mellinger-Axenfeld. They differ in frame and arm shape. So compare the photos, then pick the one that feels right in your hand and on your patients.

Patient comfort with the Stevenson

An awake patient feels every bit of pressure. Therefore, use numbing drops as your protocol allows, and talk the patient through each step. Also, open the speculum slowly; sudden spread makes people squeeze.

Exposure the Stevenson provides

It helps with:

• Clear view of the cornea and conjunctiva
• Steady access for minor surface work
• Freeing your other hand during the case

Why keep two 7 cm patterns

Lids vary in shape and tone. When one frame sits poorly, a second design often fits better. So a Stevenson beside your usual 7 cm speculum gives the team a quick fallback.

Stevenson storage and checks

Store the speculum closed, in a slot where the arms will not catch. Before each use, check that the arms are even and smooth. If one arm looks bent, set the tool aside rather than reshape it yourself.

Ordering the Stevenson

Stevenson specula ship unsterile; wash the Stevenson frame and sterilize it, and it stays in service across many lists. Stevenson steel meets ASTM F899. Each Stevenson comes with our standard cover of three years against manufacturing defects. Stevenson buyers can browse the ophthalmology speculum range, or compare the Mueller speculum.
