Sklar Hinkle-James Rectal Speculum, Tapered
A tapered, 4-3/8 inch Sklar Hinkle-James rectal speculum, used to examine and access the anal canal during anorectal examinations and procedures.
The Sklar Hinkle-James Rectal Speculum is a 4-3/8 inch instrument with a blade that tapers from 5/8 inch to 2 inches, designed to gradually dilate and hold open the anal canal for examination or minor anorectal procedures. The tapered blade shape allows the clinician to insert the narrower end first and then advance to the wider diameter as needed, giving a more comfortable and controlled entry compared to a fixed diameter speculum.
Colorectal surgeons, general practitioners and gastroenterologists use rectal specula like this during routine anorectal examinations, hemorrhoid assessment, or minor procedures such as banding or biopsy where direct visualization of the anal canal is needed. This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for the Hinkle-James pattern, made from surgical grade stainless steel and intended for repeated use with standard cleaning and sterilization between patients as part of standard anorectal examination equipment.
