Abstract

The main patent deals with a vaginal speculum (1) in the form of a pear-shaped lamina of plastic, intended to be held rolled in tubular from while it is inserted, and allowed to unroll when it reaches the required position. It has found difficult to hold the speculum rolled up while at the same time inserting, and it is now proposed to provide one side of the lamina with a tab (3), turned over to form a hook and engaging in a slot now made in the lamina's main surface. The speculum is thus held rolled by a catch, instead of by hand, while it is inserted. A slight pressure releases the catch when the speculum is in position, and it unrolls as before.

Description

Patentansprüche: 1. Rohrförmiges Vaginalspekulum mit Längsschlitz, das durch Zusammenbiegen eines planen, etwa dem Längsschnitt einer Birne entsprechend geformten elatischen Blattes mit nach innen abgebogenem und daher außen glattem Rand gebildet ist, nach Patent 21 54 765, d a d u r c h gekennzeichnet, daß an dem - beim Einführen in die Vagina - vorderen seitlichen Rand des planen elastischen Blattes (1) ein auf dessen Innenseite gerichteter Haken (3) vorgesehen ist, der beim Zusammenbiegen des Blattes zu einer Röhre in einen zugeordneten Schlitz (4) des Blattes eingreift, so daß das zur Röhre zusammengebogene Blatt in dieser Form selbsttätig zusammengehalten wird. Claims: 1. Tubular vaginal speculum with a longitudinal slot, by bending a flat one, roughly corresponding to the longitudinal section of a pear shaped elastic sheet with an inwardly bent and therefore smooth outside Edge is formed, according to patent 21 54 765, d a d u r c h characterized that on the - when inserted into the vagina - anterior lateral edge of the flat elastic Sheet (1) a directed on the inside of the hook (3) is provided which when bending the sheet into a tube in an associated slot (4) of the sheet engages, so that the sheet bent to form a tube in this form is held together automatically.

2. Vaginalspekulum nach Patentanspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Haken (3) aus einer am Blattrand vorgesehenen Lippe gebildet ist. 2. Vaginal speculum according to claim 1, characterized in that that the hook (3) is formed from a lip provided on the edge of the sheet.

3. Vaginalspekulum nach Patentanspruch 1 oder 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Verbindung Haken - Schlitz durch leichtes Zusammendrücken der Röhre am hinteren Ende leicht auslösbar ist. 3. Vaginal speculum according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that that the connection hook - slot by gently squeezing the tube at the rear End is easily triggered.

4. Vaginalspekulum nach einem der Patentansprüehe 1 bis 3, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß das plane elastische Blatt (1) aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff, z. B. etwa 0,3 mm Stärke, gefertigt ist. 4. Vaginal speculum according to one of the claims 1 to 3, thereby characterized in that the flat elastic sheet (1) made of transparent plastic, z. B. about 0.3 mm thick.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein rohrförmiges Vaginalspekulum mit Längsschlitz, das durch Zusammenbiegen eines planen, etwa dem Längsschnitt einer Birne entsprechend geformten elastischen Blattes mit nach innen abgebogenem und daher außen glattem Rand gebildet ist, nach Patent 21 54 765. The invention relates to a tubular vaginal speculum with a longitudinal slot, by bending a flat one, roughly corresponding to the longitudinal section of a pear shaped elastic sheet with an inwardly bent and therefore smooth outside Edge is formed, according to patent 21 54 765.

Bei dem aus der DT-OS 21 54 765 bekannten Vaginalspekulum gemäß dem Hauptpatent hat es sich gezeigt, daß sich Schwierigkeiten ergeben können, wenn das aus einem planen elastischen Blatt zusammengerollte Spekulum mit ein und derselben Hand zusammengehalten und in die Vagina eingeführt werden soll. In the known from DT-OS 21 54 765 vaginal speculum according to the Main patent, it has been shown that difficulties can arise if that a speculum rolled up from a flat elastic sheet with one and the same Hand held together and intended to be inserted into the vagina.

Diese Schwierigkeiten werden gemäß der Erfindung dadurch vermieden, daß an dem - beim Einführen in die Vagina - vorderen seitlichen Rand des planen elastischen Blattes ein auf dessen Innenseite gerichteter Haken vorgesehen ist, der beim Zusammenbiegen des Blattes zu einer Röhre in einen zugeordneten Schlitz des Blattes eingreift, so daß das zur Röhre zusammengebo- gene Blatt in dieser Form selbsttätig zusammengehalten wird. According to the invention, these difficulties are avoided by that on the front side edge of the plane when it is inserted into the vagina elastic sheet a hook directed on the inside is provided, when the sheet is bent into a tube in an associated slot of the leaf engages so that the tube like sheet in this form is held together automatically.

Dieser Haken kann vorteilhaft aus einer am Rand des planen Blattes vorgesehenen Lippe gebildet sein. This hook can be advantageous from one on the edge of the flat sheet provided lip be formed.

Gemäß weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann die Verbindung Haken - Schlitz durch leichtes Zusammendrücken der Röhre am hinteren Ende leicht ausgelöst werden, so daß sich das Spekulum in der Vagina entfalten kann. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the connection can hook - Slit easily released by gently squeezing the tube at the rear end so that the speculum can unfold in the vagina.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile der Erfindung werden anhand des Ausführungsbeispieles erörtert. Es zeigen Fig. 1 das erfindungsgemäße plane Blatt mit Haken und zugehörigem Schlitz, in Draufsicht, F Fi g. 2 einen Schnitt gemäß Linie A bis B, F i g. 3 das zu einer Röhre zusammengebogene Spekulum. Further details and advantages of the invention are based on the Embodiment discussed. 1 shows the planar sheet according to the invention with hook and associated slot, in plan view, F Fi g. 2 shows a section according to Line A to B, F i g. 3 the speculum bent into a tube.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, ist das plane elastische Blatt 1 etwa dem Längsschnitt einer Birne entsprechend geformt, wobei der breite Teil den - beim Einführen in die Vagina - vorderen Teil bildet. Der nach innen abgebogene und daher glatte Rand 2 des Blattes 1 trägt an dem einen vorderen seitlichen Teil eine zu einem nach innen gerichteten Haken ausgebildete Lippe 3 (vergleiche F i g. 2), die beim Zusammenbiegen des Blattes 1 zu einer Röhre (vergleiche Fig3) in einen zugeordneten Schlitz 4 eingreift, so daß das zu einer Röhre zusammengebogene Blatt in dieser Form selbsttätig zusammengehalten wird. As can be seen from Fig. 1, the planar elastic sheet 1 is approximately shaped according to the longitudinal section of a pear, the broad part being the - at Insertion into the vagina - anterior part forms. The one bent inwards and therefore smooth edge 2 of the sheet 1 contributes to a front lateral part an inwardly directed hook formed lip 3 (see Fig. 2), the when bending the sheet 1 into a tube (see Fig. 3) into an associated one Slot 4 engages so that the sheet which has been bent into a tube in this Form is held together automatically.

Da die Lippe 3 in das Innere der so geformten Röhre zu liegen kommt, besteht keine Gefahr der Verletzung beim Einführen des Spekulums in die Vagina; aus demselben Grund ist diese Gefahr auch nicht beim Herausziehen bzw. Entfernen des Spekulums gegeben. Since the lip 3 comes to lie in the interior of the tube thus formed, there is no risk of injury when inserting the speculum into the vagina; for the same reason, there is no danger of pulling out or removing of speculum given.

Beim Einführen des zusammengerollten Spekulums, das mittels des Griffes 5 geschieht, ist unter Sicht durch das Lumen der zusammengerollten Röhre ein Aufsuchen des Muttermundes möglich. Sobald dieser aufgefunden wurde, kann durch leichtes Zusammendrücken der Röhre die Verbindung Haken - Schlitz infolge der elastischen Kräfte des Blattes 1 aufgehoben werden. When inserting the rolled up speculum by means of the handle 5 happens, is a search under sight through the lumen of the rolled up tube of the cervix possible. As soon as this has been found, it can be opened by gently squeezing it The hook-slot connection of the tube as a result of the elastic forces of the leaf 1 to be repealed.

Das Spekulum entfaltet sich daraufhin in der Vagina, wodurch die erforderlichen Untersuchungsbedingungen geschaffen werden. The speculum then unfolds in the vagina, causing the necessary examination conditions are created.
