Abstract
Disclosed are speculum embodiments and related methods to comfortably dilate a woman's vaginal canal during a pelvic exam. In one aspect, a flute having retractable rods and foldable rings are provided. The flute is configured to transition between an expanded state where the proximal and distal foldable rings are in an unfolded orientation and a collapsed state where the proximal and distal foldable rings are in a folded orientation. A handle maintains the flute in the collapsed state and, in at least one embodiment, a ring collar is provided and configured to engage the flute when the flute is in the expanded state. A light source can be provided in the flute or ring collar.
