<p>A vaginal speculum formed as an integral unit and preferably of unitary molded construction. The speculum includes a pair of opposed legs diverging outwardly from an end wall which is suitably apertured to permit the passage of instruments, swabs, etc. The outer surface of the end wall is generally concave, and its connection to the legs produces a spring flexure whereby the distal ends of the legs may be resiliently urged together for insertion and removal of the speculum. The legs are also curved in a transaxial plane, permitting rotation of the speculum after insertion in the vagina. The construction is such permitting its disposal after a single use, but, if desired, permitting resterilization thereof for successive uses.</p> |
