Extra-Small Disposable Vaginal Speculum Enhances Comfort

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 22 May 2012
A new extra small, disposable vaginal speculum offers greater convenience for providers and added comfort and safety for patients. More...


The extra small KleenSpec disposable vaginal speculum is made of smooth, molded acrylic that will not pinch or bind tissue, with a wide handle that provides improved ergonomics, better balance, and easier manipulation during exams. As with all other KleenSpec disposable vaginal speculas, it is designed to fit directly onto the Welch Allyn Cordless Illumination System, eliminating the worry of cords being cleaned, getting in the way, or breaking during an exam. Automatic on/off, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the illumination system provide a whiter, brighter light source that enhances visualization of the exam area, with true tissue rendition and less heat than traditional lamps. In addition, the light pipe on the specula provides a homogeneous spot and eliminates glare-back, projecting light forward. The extra small KleenSpec disposable vaginal speculum is a product of Welch Allyn (Skaneateles Falls, NY, USA).

“We are proud to say we now offer every size disposable vaginal speculum needed for all types of patients,” said Tracy Bennett, manager of physical assessment at Welch Allyn. “Our new extra small disposable vaginal speculum will allow obstetricians, gynecologists, and family physicians to perform a comfortable, safe exam with virginal and pediatric patients, as well as post-menopausal and post-hysterectomy women. And since they are single-use, they eliminate the time and expense of reprocessing and help reduce the risk of cross-contamination.”
