  • Publication number: 20230293002
    Abstract: A vaginal speculum has an upper member having a first handle, a lower member having a second handle, a threaded rod, and a nut. A positioning cavity is formed in the second handle and has an insertion cavity and multiple engaging grooves. The threaded rod has a head, a rod, and multiple engaging protrusions. The head is mounted in the insertion cavity. The engaging protrusions are arranged around the head and respectively engaged with the engaging grooves. The rod extends from the head toward the first handle. The nut is connected with the rod of the threaded rod via a threaded connection. Accordingly, the head of the threaded rod is firmly fixed in the positioning cavity.

  • Publication number: 20230293003
    Abstract: A vaginal speculum has an upper member having a first handle, a lower member having a second handle, a threaded rod, and a nut. A positioning cavity is formed in the second handle and has an insertion cavity and multiple engaging grooves. A rod hole is formed through the second handle and communicates with the insertion cavity. Multiple ribs are formed between the rod hole and the engaging grooves. The threaded rod has a head, a rod, and multiple engaging protrusions. The head is mounted in the insertion cavity. The engaging protrusions are arranged around the head and respectively engaged with the engaging grooves. The rod extends from the head, through the rod hole, and toward the first handle. The nut is connected with the rod of the threaded rod via a threaded connection. Accordingly, the head of the threaded rod is firmly fixed in the positioning cavity.

  • Patent number: 10448808
    Abstract: A disposable medical device with a lighting effect has a body and a light assembly. The body has an inspection portion, a grip portion, and a placement portion. The light assembly is detachably connected to the body and has an outer casing, a lighting module, and a power supply module. The outer casing is detachably connected to the placement portion of the body, and has a chamber, a communicating hole, and a through hole. The lighting module is deposited in the outer casing and has a luminous body and a pressing-conductive arm. The pressing-conductive arm is swingably deposited in the outer casing, is selectively and electrically connected to the luminous body, and has an abutting portion and a conductive portion. The power supply module is deposited in the chamber, and is selectively and electrically connected to the lighting module and the conductive portion of the pressing-conductive arm.

  • Publication number: 20190133432
    Abstract: A sigmoidoscope has a main body and an illuminating assembly. The main body has an optic head. The fiber optic head has a channel extending through the optic head and a positioning recess disposed at a middle portion of the fiber optic head. The illuminating assembly has a circuit board, multiple light emitting elements, and a tact switch. The circuit board is disposed in the positioning recess and has a central hole aligned with the channel The multiple light emitting elements are annularly mounted to the circuit board at intervals and electrically connected to the circuit board. The tact switch is mounted to the circuit board, is electrically connected to the circuit board, and has a pushing button extending over a rim of the central hole. The pushing button can be pressed by an inserting tube of a speculum assembly that is inserted into the central hole.
