Description
Various speculae for vagina, nose or rectum. These date from the nineteenth century, England. A speculum is a medical instrument for investigating bodily orifices. A vaginal speculum is inserted into the vagina to dilate it, allowing for examination and treatment of the cervix. The anal speculum for investigating the rectum is one of the oldest surgical instruments still in use, with examples dating back many centuries.
