GynecologicalInstrument

A Cusco speculum is a hinged, bivalve instrument used to separate the vaginal walls for examination of the vagina and cervix. It is the standard tool for performing Pap smears, visual diagnostics, and various gynecological procedures. Available in reusable metal or single-use plastic forms and in multiple sizes, its self-retaining lock allows for hands-free operation. Safe and effective use requires gentle insertion with lubrication, selection of the correct size, careful unlocking before removal, and strict adherence to high-level disinfection or sterilization protocols for reusable models. It is an indispensable instrument in women's health care.
