Abstract
A speculum includes a speculum including a speculum sheath formed with one or more fluid flow lumens in fluid communication with a pump and controller unit for introducing pressurized fluid into a vagina, a pressure sensor lumen in fluid communication with the pump and controller unit for measuring fluid pressure in the vagina, and a third lumen in which is disposed a viewing device. A vaginal interface element includes flexible folds and is configured for pressing and sealing against a vagina. The vaginal interface element includes one or more pressure relief exit ports.
Claims7
A speculum comprising:
- a speculum sheath formed with one or more fluid flow lumens in fluid communication with a pump and controller unit for introducing pressurized fluid into a vagina, a pressure sensor lumen in fluid communication with said pump and controller unit for measuring fluid pressure in the vagina, and a viewing lumen in which is disposed a viewing device;
- and
- a vaginal interface element that comprises flexible folds and is configured for pressing and sealing against labia minora and/or labia majora of the vagina, said flexible folds being compressible in an axial direction along a longitudinal axis of said speculum sheath, wherein said flexible folds of said vaginal interface element comprise one or more pressure relief exit ports, wherein said vaginal interface element comprises an air inlet septum, through which pressurized air enters from said pump and controller unit, and wherein said air inlet septum is offset from a longitudinal central axis of said vaginal interface element.
