Description
KleenSpec® Disposable Vaginal Specula (Medium, box of 24) are premium single-use acrylic specula from Welch Allyn designed to eliminate the time and cost of reprocessing metal specula and to reduce the risk of cross-contamination. Manufactured from clear, smooth acrylic, they provide complete visualization of the vaginal canal and are compatible with the Welch Allyn KleenSpec Illumination System or an external light source. The medium size Pederson-style speculum features a wide, ergonomic handle for improved balance and easier manipulation, and a strong yet flexible yoke and grip for reliable performance in routine gynaecological examinations.
