Proctoscope

A proctoscope comprising:

• a body;
• a handle extending from the body;
• an elongated element comprising a forward end and an aft end, said aft end is attached to the body and open such that the interior of the elongated element is accessible via the aft end, said elongated element is extending along a longitudinal axis L,
• at least one opening formed in the elongated element between the forward and aft end, and/or a transparent section formed in the elongated element between the forward and aft end;
• a reference marking arranged along the at least one opening and/or transparent section, said reference marking is readable via the open aft end of the of the elongated element, characterized in that the proctoscope furthermore comprises a positioning device for maintaining and supporting the proctoscope in an intended position relative a treatment area, said positioning device comprising:
• an elongated position adjustment device with a forward end contact surface, said position adjustment device is movably arranged via engagement, for movement relative to the body and the elongated element, along an axis substantially parallel to axis L in the body and extending from the handle in the same direction as the elongated element from the body, and
• locking means arranged to secure the elongated position adjustment device in a selected position,
• wherein the forward end contact surface is intended to bear against the skin of a patient to maintain and support the elongated element at an inserted location along the longitudinal axis L associated with the with proctoscope being in the intended position and the treatment area being arranged in relation to the reference marking, and
• wherein the elongated position adjustment device is adjustable between an extended end position and a retracted end position, and the elongated position adjustment device is configured to be movable between a first angular position where the elongated position adjustment device is able to slide in the device body and a second angular position where the locking means is securing the elongated position adjustment device in the desired position.
