  • Publication number: 20190104978
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a speculum device for measuring pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contractile forces. The speculum device includes a first bill and a second, opposing bill. Each bill has a proximal end attached to a handle. The handle includes a housing in which a sensor cassette may be selectively inserted. When inserted, the sensor cassette can measure contractile forces applied to the upper and lower bills and mechanically transferred to the sensor cassette. The sensor cassette does not come into contact with the patient while measurements are taken. Afterwards, the sensor cassette may be removed from the housing while the remainder of the device is sterilized.
