Vaginal speculum

Overview
Designed to provide a better view of the cervix during pelvic examination and to increase patient comfort. The Bouquet Speculum is a petaled multi-blade vaginal speculum intended for single-handed clinical use.

Key benefits

• Improved visualization of the cervix compared with a traditional two-bladed speculum
• Increased patient comfort during pelvic examinations
• Single-handed operation suitable for clinical and field settings

Inventor / Video summary
Dr. Jean Bouquet describes how the multi-petal redesign overcomes limitations of the traditional two-bladed speculum, improving clinician access and cervix visualization.
