Each of the combined ribs and links (76) is movably coupled to the combined first speculum blade and handle portion (20) and to the combined second speculum blade and link portion (62) to movably couple the combined first speculum blade and handle portion (20) to the combined second speculum blade and link portion (62). The speculum handle portion (46) is movably coupled to the combined first speculum blade and handle portion (20) and to the combined second speculum blade and link portion (62) to actuate the combined first speculum blade and handle portion (20) and the combined second speculum blade and link portion (62) relative to each other between a first orientation (illustrated in FIG. 4) in which the speculum (18) is configured to be inserted into an incision, meatus or the like, and a second orientation (illustrated in FIG. 5) in which the speculum is configured to aid in examination, treatment or the like, of the incision meatus or the like.
A speculum including a first member, a second member, a third member, and a plurality of fourth members, each of the fourth members being movably coupled to the first member and to the second member to movably couple the first member to the second member, the third member being movably coupled to the first member and to the second member to actuate the first member and the second member relative to each other between a first orientation and a second orientation.
