Specula

摘要

A vaginal speculum comprises upper and lower blades arranged to pivot relative to each other about coupling elements each associated with a respective blade. The upper blade is detachable from the lower blade, when the speculum is in situ in the vaginal cavity, upon pulling the upper blade generally proximally. This decouples the coupling elements from each other or detaches at least one of the coupling elements from the associated blade. The speculum has optional side blades.
