Vaginal speculum

Description:
vaginal speculum is a medical instrument primarily used in gynecology to examine the vaginal canal and the cervix.

Principles and precautions for use:
The core of using a vaginal speculum is patient-centered, following the principles of sterility, safety, and respect. Prior to operation, informed consent must be obtained, a suitable size of speculum must be selected and adequately lubricated, and insertion must conform to the physiological angle of the vagina and be done gently. After opening, excessive expansion or prolonged retention should be avoided to minimize patient discomfort. The patient's reaction should be closely observed throughout the operation, and the instruments should be carefully removed and disposed of properly after completion. For special populations such as postmenopausal, anxious, or those with a history of trauma, extra caution should be taken, with the primary goal of ensuring the effectiveness of examinations and the comfort and safety of patients.

Storage condition:
The storage conditions of vaginal speculum vary depending on its material, and the core principle is to ensure the integrity, cleanliness, and sterility of the instrument. Disposable sterile endoscopes should be stored in their original packaging and placed in a clean, dry, dark, and suitable temperature and humidity warehouse to prevent packaging damage or contamination.
