Doyen Vaginal Retractor
Doyen Vaginal Retractor (Product Code: SLE/SI/11) is a gynaecological retractor used to expose the vaginal cavity in gynaecology theatres and maternity units. Gynaecologists and obstetric teams rely on its broad blade, approximately 45 mm wide and 85 mm long, whose lateral edges must be blunt so the vaginal walls are held back without being cut. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which handles lab equipment export from India as well as domestic orders.

What Is the Doyen Vaginal Retractor Used For?
The Doyen retractor is placed against one vaginal wall and held by an assistant so the operator can see into, and work within, the vaginal cavity. It is often paired with a second retractor or a weighted posterior blade, such as the Auvard pattern, so that both walls are held apart during gynaecological procedures.
The broad blade spreads pressure over a wide area, while the blunt lateral edges avoid cutting or pinching the tissue. Before every use, run a gloved finger along the edges to confirm they are still smooth and free of burrs. Midwifery schools and nursing faculties that buy lab equipment for college teaching in India also use the retractor on pelvic training models to show correct positioning.
