  • Use with caution in patients with severe vaginal atrophy, stenosis, or pain disorders; consider alternative sizes or examination methods as appropriate.

Adverse Effects

  • Temporary discomfort or pressure during insertion and opening of the speculum is common.
  • In some cases, minor vaginal wall abrasions or light bleeding may occur, particularly in patients with fragile mucosa.
