Disposable sheath for specula
A speculum sheath which covers a speculum and methods for using the sheath are described herein. A variety of different types of specula may be covered with the sheath, including anal, vaginal, ear, and nasal specula. The sheath is made of a compliant or partially compliant material, including latex, vinyl, natural and synthetic rubbers, silicone, nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene, and non-degradable or degradable elastomers. The material may be transparent or opaque. In the preferred embodiment, the material is transparent. The sheath may contain one or two openings. Optionally, the sheath contains an affixing means on the inside of or at least one of the openings on the sheath to prevent slippage when in contact with the speculum. Optionally, the sheath contains an active agent, such as hemostatic agents, anti-infectives, antibiotics, antimitotics anti-inflammatory, or other chemotherapeutic agents. In the preferred embodiment, the sheath is placed on a vaginal speculum and supports loose vaginal tissue when inserted into a patient. In the most preferred embodiment, the material is transparent so that medical provider may view the lumen.

Vaginal speculum
A vaginal speculum adapted to be positioned within a vagina has a hollow cylindrical body with means integral therewith for distending the vagina internally of the introitus, whereby the speculum allows visualisation of, and access to and through the cervix, without distending the cervix. In one embodiment the hollow cylindrical body has an inner and outer tube, which are movable relative to each other along the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylindrical body between a first position, wherein the distending means is closed and a second position, wherein the distending means is distended. In this embodiment the distending means is a plurality of elongate members connected between the distal ends of the inner and outer tubes. In the first position the elongate members lie along the longitudinal axis of the hollow cylindrical and in the second position they are bent out from the hollow cylindrical body as the distance between the distal ends of the inner and outer tubes has been shortened.

Vaginal speculum with seal
A vaginal speculum of the kind including a tubular probe (6) for penetrating the vagina wherein the probe is encircled by an annular sealing element (13), in the form of a thick walled, domed shell of polyethylene foam, spaced from the leading end of the probe and which seals only against a circumferential zone of the internal tissue defining the vaginal orifice. The external surface of the sealing element is shaped as a surface of revolution wherein the diameter of the sealing surface increases progressively with axial distance from the leading end of the sealing element and wherein the rate of increase diminishes progressively with said axial distance. The seal therefore provides a low-pressure seal over a limited range of depths of penetration of the probe into the vagina and over a range of angular alignments of the probe.
