Sklar Hirschman Proctoscope, 5 Inch
A 5 inch, 7/8 inch diameter Sklar Hirschman proctoscope, used to examine the rectum and lower sigmoid colon during a proctologic examination.
The Sklar Hirschman Proctoscope is a 5 inch instrument with a 7/8 inch diameter, used to examine the rectum and lower sigmoid colon during a proctologic examination. Longer and typically of a larger diameter than an anoscope, the proctoscope allows the clinician to visualize further up the rectal canal, which is useful when a more complete assessment of the lower gastrointestinal tract is needed beyond what an anoscope alone can show.
The device is inserted with the aid of an obturator and, once in place, allows direct visual examination with the help of a light source, supporting diagnosis of conditions such as polyps, inflammation, tumors or bleeding sources within the rectum and lower colon. General practitioners, colorectal surgeons and gastroenterologists use proctoscopes like this as standard diagnostic equipment in outpatient and surgical practice.
This is a single size listing as offered by Sklar for this pattern, intended for repeated use with standard cleaning and sterilization between patients.
