  • Patent number: 10485918
    Abstract: A soft dual-layer rectal speculum includes a main tube member having a distal end for insertion into a patient's rectum and a proximal end for connection to a waste removal hose where at least a portion of the main tube member includes an inner hard layer and an outer soft layer, and an inlet tube member for directing fluids into the main tube member. The inlet tube member may include a swivel mechanism and the portion of the main tube member having an inner hard layer and an outer soft layer may include a measurement gauge that is visible through the outer soft layer but can't be felt through the outer soft layer. A rectal speculum assembly includes the soft dual-layer rectal speculum described above and an obturator which includes an elongated member having a tapered distal end capable of extending through the distal end of the main tube member. The tapered distal end of the obturator may be made of a soft, pliable material or an inner hard layer (or member) and an outer soft layer.
