A speculum, comprising a handle portion including a proximal end, a distal end and at least one sidewall connecting the proximal end and the distal end and having a cavity in the sidewall thereof, a lower blade connected to the handle portion, an upper blade movably connected to the lower blade, the upper and lower blades being configured to move relative to one another between a closed state and an open state, and a lighting assembly comprising at least one light source and at least one energy storage device, said lighting assembly being at least partially disposed in the cavity in the sidewall of the handle portion.

Speculum

A speculum includes an upper blade, a lower blade, a link member, a handle portion, a curved portion, and a light source. The link member connects the upper blade and the lower blade to allow the upper blade and the lower blade to move between an open state and a close state. The curved portion connects the lower blade and the handle portion. The light source is disposed on the curved portion.

The embodiments disclosed herein relate to disposable speculums, and more particularly to disposable vaginal speculums having single-sided support and operating mechanisms. In an embodiment, a speculum includes an upper member having an upper blade and a hinge assembly; a lower member having a handle and a lower blade, wherein a combined smoke channel light guide directs light from a light source in the handle to a distal end of the lower blade for smoke removal; and a linear support member having a proximal end, a distal end, and an elongated body therebetween, the linear support member vertically moveable within a track positioned in the lower member.
