A better Speculum

Designed with a woman’s body in mind, the Orchid Spec is the patient-friendly alternative to conventional plastic and metal specula. Our standard speculum is available in four patient-friendly sizes and in both white and clear plastic.

orchid-speculum-advantages
Soft round edges
All rounded edges have a smooth soft feel thanks to an extra large outer radius of 1.5mm. Tissue flows freely without risk of trauma or irritation.
Cervix support & rounded inner edges
The inward folded edge positions and holds the Cervix for direct easy access even in case of an anterior or posterior Cervix position. Smooth rounded edges on the inside of the speculum remove all risk of scraping of the Cervix. Scraping of the Cervix is normally a frequent cause of patient discomfort and occasionally bleeding.

Outward folded outer edge
The outward folded outer edge keeps the opening free from tissue and allows greater freedom for instrument manipulation resulting in improved visibility of the cavity and cervix.
Single-handed 100% silient locking
The new locking design allows easy, completely silent single-handed locking and unlocking. This frees the other hand for simultaneous instrument manipulation, reducing procedure time.

Smooth surface finish
The smooth surface finish simplifies insertion of the speculum, reducing any unintentional discomfort. Gel can be used, but water will be sufficient for lubrication.
Gap design prevents pinching
The gap is designed to avoid pinching protruding tissue during closure. Pinching is normally a frequent cause of patient discomfort.
