Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vaginal speculum technology, and in particular to a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure. Background Technology
[0002] Diseases of the female reproductive system are called gynecological diseases, including vulvar diseases, vaginal diseases, uterine diseases, fallopian tube diseases, and ovarian diseases. Gynecological diseases are common and frequently occurring diseases in women. During a colposcopy examination in gynecology, vaginal dilators are generally used to dilate the vagina, thereby enabling direct observation of internal lesions.
[0003] Currently, most dilators used are duckbill dilators. Although this dilator is convenient to use, it also has shortcomings. For example, when performing colposcopy, we often encounter patients with a lot of vaginal wall tissue or vaginal laxity. When using a duckbill dilator, the two sides are empty, and the vaginal wall tissue can enter the dilator, resulting in incomplete exposure of the cervix.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure. This device improves upon existing speculum by incorporating a baffle mechanism inside the speculum. The baffle is made of elastic plastic and is transparent, just like the speculum itself. The slider at the lower end of the baffle is located within a track, and a connecting block is fixed to the upper baffle. When the upper baffle is unfolded, it causes the elastic plastic baffle to slide and rise, thus blocking the vaginal walls on both sides for ease of use. The device also features a fixing hook at the handle, which works in conjunction with the lever to fix the position of the upper baffle. Furthermore, the length of the fixing hook is adjustable. When the expansion angle is small, the length of the fixing hook can be increased; when the expansion angle is large, the length of the fixing hook can be decreased, allowing for flexible adjustment.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure, comprising a speculum mechanism, wherein a baffle mechanism is fixedly installed inside the speculum mechanism, the speculum mechanism includes a lower baffle, an upper baffle is hinged to the upper end of the lower baffle, a handle is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lower baffle, a fixing rod is hinged to the upper end of the handle, and a fixing hook is slidably installed on the outer surface of the fixing rod;
[0007] The baffle mechanism includes a first slide and a second slide, and elastic plastic baffles are slidably installed inside the first slide and the second slide.
[0008] Furthermore, connecting blocks are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both sides of the two elastic plastic baffles, and sliders are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both sides of the two elastic plastic baffles.
[0009] Furthermore, a fixing post is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing rod, and a second mounting block is fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing post.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing rod has sliding grooves on both sides, and a spring button is fixedly installed at the front end of the fixing rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the front end of the fixed hook is provided with multiple limiting holes, and a lever is fixedly provided on one side of the upper baffle.
[0012] Furthermore, a mounting block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the handle.
[0013] Furthermore, the multiple connecting blocks are fixedly installed with the upper baffle.
[0014] Furthermore, the two elastic plastic baffles are configured to be wider at the front and narrower at the back, which facilitates adjustment according to the opening angle of the expander.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model proposes a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure. Currently, most speculum used are duckbill speculum. Although this speculum is convenient to use, it also has shortcomings. For example, when performing colposcopy, patients often have a lot of vaginal wall tissue or vaginal laxity. When using a duckbill speculum, the sides are empty, and the vaginal wall tissue can enter the speculum, resulting in incomplete exposure of the cervix. This device improves upon the existing speculum by incorporating a baffle mechanism inside the speculum. The baffle is made of elastic plastic and is transparent, just like the speculum. The slider at the lower end of the baffle is in a sliding track, and the connecting block is fixed to the upper baffle. When the upper baffle is unfolded, it will cause the elastic plastic baffle to slide and rise, thus blocking the vaginal wall tissue on both sides and facilitating use.
[0017] 2. This utility model proposes a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure. Traditional speculum usually require medical staff to continuously press the upper baffle to support the vaginal wall, which is quite strenuous. This device has a fixing hook at the handle, which works with the lever to fix the position of the upper baffle. Moreover, the length of the fixing hook of this device is adjustable. When the expansion angle is small, the length of the fixing hook can be increased, and when the expansion angle is large, the length of the fixing hook can be shortened, which facilitates flexible adjustment.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides: a vaginal speculum that facilitates exposure, including a speculum mechanism 1. The speculum mechanism 1 includes a lower baffle 101, an upper baffle 102 hinged to the upper end of the lower baffle 101, a handle 104 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the lower baffle 101, a fixing rod 108 hinged to the upper end of the handle 104, a fixing hook 111 slidably mounted on the outer surface of the fixing rod 108, a fixing post 106 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the fixing rod 108, a second mounting block 107 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the fixing post 106, sliding grooves 112 on both sides of the fixing rod 108, a spring button 110 fixedly mounted at the front end of the fixing rod 108, multiple limiting holes 109 on the front end of the fixing hook 111, a lever 103 fixedly mounted on one side of the upper baffle 102, and a first mounting block 105 fixedly mounted at the upper end of the handle 104.
[0026] Specifically, this device has a fixing hook 111 at the handle 104. The fixing hook 111 cooperates with the lever 103 to fix the position of the upper baffle 102. The fixing hook 111 is adjustable in length. When the expansion angle is small, the length of the fixing hook 111 can be increased, and when the expansion angle is large, the length of the fixing hook 111 can be decreased, which facilitates flexible adjustment. The lower baffle 101 is designed to work with the upper baffle 102, which helps to open the affected area for medication application. The handle 104 is designed to make it easier for medical staff to hold the device and also facilitates the hinge of the fixing lever 108. Upon installation, the fixing rod 108 facilitates use with the fixing hook 111, allows for adjustment of the length of the fixing hook 111, and helps to hook the lever 103 and limit the upper baffle 102. The fixing post 106 facilitates the fixed installation of the second mounting block 107, facilitates use with the first mounting block 105, and facilitates the hinged installation of the fixing rod 108. The sliding groove 112 assists in the up-and-down sliding of the fixing hook 111. The spring button 110 facilitates use with the limiting hole 109 and helps limit the sliding position of the fixing hook 111.
[0027] Reference Figure 4 The expander mechanism 1 is internally equipped with a baffle mechanism 2, which includes a first slide 201 and a second slide 202. Elastic plastic baffles 203 are slidably installed inside the first slide 201 and the second slide 202. Connecting blocks 204 are fixedly installed at the upper ends of both sides of the two elastic plastic baffles 203, and sliders are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both sides of the two elastic plastic baffles 203. Multiple connecting blocks 204 are fixedly installed with the upper baffle 102. The two elastic plastic baffles 203 are designed to be wider at the front and narrower at the back, which is convenient for adjustment according to the opening angle of the expander.
[0028] Specifically, slide 1 201 is a longer slide, and slide 2 202 is a shorter slide. The two are used in conjunction with elastic plastic baffle 203. The lower end of elastic plastic baffle 203 is equipped with a slider for sliding up and down inside the slide, which is beneficial for adjusting and restricting the position of elastic plastic baffle 203. The setting of elastic plastic baffle 203 is beneficial for blocking the meat on both sides of the wall after the upper baffle 102 is unfolded, preventing the meat from entering the expander. Connecting block 204 is used to fix it to the upper baffle 102. When the upper baffle 102 is unfolded, it will drive the elastic plastic baffle 203 to slide and rise, thus blocking the meat on both sides of the wall. The baffle is made of elastic plastic material and is transparent like the expander. The slider at the lower end of the baffle is inside slide 1 201 and slide 2 202.
[0029] Working principle: When using this device, medical staff hold the handle 104 and slowly insert the expander mechanism 1 into the patient's affected area. Then, they slowly press the lever 103 to open the upper baffle 102 to support the affected area. The upper baffle 102 and the elastic plastic baffle 203 are fixed by the connecting block 204. When the upper baffle 102 is opened, it will drive the elastic plastic baffle 203 to slide and rise, which can block the flesh on both sides. The baffle is made of elastic plastic material and is transparent like the expander. The slider at the lower end of the baffle is in the first slide 201 and the second slide 202.
[0030] Secondly, after determining the position of the upper baffle 102, press the spring button 110, then slide the fixing hook 111 to adjust the length of the fixing hook 111, and then hook the fixing hook 111 onto the lever 103.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
