Collins Speculum

Designed for horizontal opening; the opening is secured by a single locking screw that spreads the jaws; the maximum opening for all sizes is approximately 10.8 cm.

If you fancy playing doctor at home and aren’t sure whether you’ll enjoy it, buy the plastic version, which you can get at Bugshop for just a few crowns. But if you’re serious about it, go for the stainless steel version – the difference is incomparable. The cool metal, combined with the reluctance of many women to undergo gynaecological examinations, is sure to make for a great adventure. At Bugshop, you’ll find two types – Cusco and Collins, each of which works slightly differently. Cusco opens vertically, whilst Collins opens horizontally, so it’s up to you which one you buy (I have both, of course). The products come in three sizes, and a description of each is always provided alongside the product to help you decide.
