What the Dartigues retractor is and who it is for
The Dartigues retractor is a self-retaining medical hole spreader built for examination roleplay and medical fetish play. Two rounded prongs delve deep into their innermost areas, spreading them wide and keeping them stretched open and at your mercy. It is designed to open and hold position on its own, so once it is set you do not have to hold it in place. This piece is sold by BDSM Authority as part of the medical play and exam equipment range.
Using it is direct: squeeze the handle until they reach your desired width, and the self-retaining mechanism keeps them open until you release it. That leaves both of your hands free to explore other pleasures while your partner stays exposed. The maximum spread reaches 6 inches, with the prongs measuring 1.75 inches in width each, so the exposure is real without being extreme.
It suits couples exploring power exchange through clinical scenes, where exposure and helplessness are the point. The smooth, seamless stainless steel slides cleanly and reads cold and authoritative in the hand. If you want context on building sensation into a scene gradually, our sensation play guide covers pacing and consent.
Key features
- Self-retaining mechanism: set the spread once and it stays open hands-free until you release it.
- Two rounded prongs: delve deep to spread and hold the opening wide, keeping your partner stretched and exposed.
- Opens to 6 inches: squeeze the handle to reach your desired width, up to a 6 inch maximum spread.

- Hands-free control: with the spreader locked, both hands stay free to explore other pleasures.
Built from seamless stainless steel
The whole point of a medical-grade spreader is that it holds a position you set and does not fight you, and that comes down to the material and the mechanism. This Dartigues retractor is one piece of smooth, seamless stainless steel, so there are no crevices to trap residue and nothing to pinch. The self-retaining handle locks the prongs at your chosen width and keeps them there under tension, so the scene stays exactly where you put it. The steel reads cold against skin, cleans in seconds, and resists wear through repeated use.
A spreader works best inside a controlled, restrained scene. Position and exposure matter most when your partner cannot easily shift away, which is why a retractor pairs naturally with the furniture in our gyno chairs and examination tables sub-collection.

As with any internal play, go slow, use plenty of body-safe lubricant, and agree on a signal to stop before you start. Our safe words guide covers negotiation, and padded leather restraints and cuffs keep a partner secure and still while the spreader is in place.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Dartigues Retractor
What is a speculum?
A speculum is a hinged medical instrument that holds an opening spread wide for examination or play. The Dartigues retractor is a self-retaining version: two rounded prongs delve in, then a squeeze of the handle spreads and locks the opening at your chosen width until you release it.
What is a Dartigues retractor used for?
A Dartigues retractor is used to spread and hold an opening wide hands-free during medical fetish play. Two rounded prongs insert about 3 inches deep, then the self-retaining handle keeps them open up to 6 inches so the top's hands stay free to explore.
What is a vaginal speculum?
A vaginal speculum is an instrument that opens and holds the vaginal canal exposed. This stainless steel Dartigues retractor works on the same principle with two smooth prongs and a self-locking handle, opening to a maximum width of 6 inches and staying open until released.
How does a speculum spreader work?
You insert the prongs, then squeeze the handle until the opening reaches your desired width. A self-retaining mechanism locks it there, so it stays spread without anyone holding it. Releasing the mechanism closes the prongs. The seamless stainless steel slides smoothly and is easy to clean.
What is a speculum used for?
A speculum is used to open and hold a body cavity exposed so it can be seen or accessed. In medical fetish play that exposure becomes the point: the Dartigues retractor keeps a partner stretched open and at your mercy, hands-free, building vulnerability and control.
How do you clean a stainless steel speculum?
Stainless steel makes cleaning simple because the surface is smooth and seamless with no crevices to trap residue. Wash the Dartigues retractor with warm water and a body-safe toy cleaner before and after every use, and dry it fully. The steel resists wear and lasts for years.
