Illumination device, system, and method of use

摘要

An illumination device for a speculum may include a first housing part and a second housing part that define a cavity therein. The illumination device may further include a pull tab configured to move from a first position to a second position. When the pull tab moves from the first position to the second position, the pull tab may be disposed so as to allow an electric circuit to be complete so as to provide illumination from an illumination source. When the pull tab is disposed in the first position, the pull tab may be positioned to interrupt the electric circuit such that the illumination device is in an unilluminated state.

主权项

1. An illumination device for a speculum comprising:
a housing comprising:
a first housing part; anda second housing part,wherein the first housing part and the second housing part define a cavity therebetween; an illumination source disposed within the housing; a plurality of batteries disposed within the cavity of the housing configured to energize an electric circuit for providing power to the illumination source; and a pull tab partially disposed within the cavity of the housing and configured to be moved between a first and second position, wherein in the first position, the pull tab is disposed between at least two adjacent batteries to preclude electrical contact between the two batteries and interrupt the electric circuit such that the illumination device is in an unilluminated state, and wherein in the second position, the pull tab is positioned to allow electrical contact between the two batteries to complete the electric circuit such that the illumination device is in an illuminated state, and wherein the pull tab defines a pull tab slot therethrough, wherein the pull tab slot is configured to retain the pull tab at least partially within the cavity in the second position.
