Sklar Ives Rectal Speculum with Hard Rubber Obturator
A 3-1/4 inch rectal speculum supplied with a hard rubber obturator, used by clinicians to gain visual access to the rectum during examination or minor procedures.
The Sklar Ives Rectal Speculum is a 3-1/4 inch instrument designed to hold the anal canal open so the clinician can visualize and access the rectum during examination or minor procedures. It is supplied with a hard rubber obturator, a smooth insert that fills the speculum's opening during insertion to reduce discomfort and trauma to the patient, and is withdrawn once the speculum is in place to allow the working channel to open for viewing or instrument passage.
This type of speculum is used by colorectal surgeons, general surgeons, gastroenterologists and general practitioners performing anorectal examinations, hemorrhoid treatment or other minor anorectal procedures in clinic or outpatient settings. The listing notes the speculum and obturator are each sold separately, so buyers should confirm they are ordering the complete set if both pieces are required.
As a reusable instrument that contacts mucosal tissue, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between patients according to standard reprocessing protocols before every use.
