Brinkerhoff rectal speculum small 3 1/2"long x 1"diameter tapers to 1/2"

Compact Tapered Access for Rectal Examination

The Brinkerhoff rectal speculum is a compact instrument intended to support rectal examination and related general surgery workflows. Its 3 1/2-inch length provides a short, controlled profile, while the 1-inch diameter tapers to 1/2 inch for a progressively narrower working end. This configuration can help clinicians position the instrument within a confined anatomical area while maintaining a practical form for handling and visualization. For facilities supporting both ENT and General Surgery teams, the instrument should be identified and applied according to its rectal-speculum design, departmental protocols, and the specific procedure being performed.

Use Cases

• Support rectal examination workflows in General Surgery using the instrument's tapered speculum profile.
• Use the compact 3 1/2-inch length where a short instrument profile is appropriate for controlled handling.
• Position the 1-inch-to-1/2-inch taper to support access within a confined examination area.
• Maintain clear instrument identification for teams serving ENT and General Surgery departments, using it only for tasks appropriate to a rectal speculum.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the tapered profile and working surfaces before and after handling for visible soil, damage, or irregularities.
• Handle and store the speculum in a manner that protects its compact tapered form from impact or distortion.

General use; follow facility protocols.
