The present invention has the purpose, when using the double speculum, the for surgical interventions or to inspect the inner parts (uterus) necessary ball or To hold the hook forceps in the outer speculum so that the doctor has a free hand and the help of an assistant is superfluous. This arrangement of the speculum offers a large free cross-section, the medical intervention is made much easier.

The Bandeische double speculum, which has been in use up to now, has its major disadvantages, because both parts form closed cylinders, which permit the introduction of the forceps and the Make it difficult to grasp and pull out the tissue to be inspected or treated, also narrow the free cross-section of the speculum when working with tools, that the treatment and the operative intervention through this closed speculum are very important is made more difficult.

These inconveniences are to be eliminated by the double speculum shown in the drawing will.

Fig. 1 shows in horizontal section, Fig. 3 in outline and Fig. 2 in front view a double speculum with an inserted and locked ball forceps, while the inner, longer speculum in Fig. 4 in the front, .Fig. 5 in the top view and FIG. 6 the outer speculum in the front view with the joint holder folded up, Fig / 7 the same is shown in the side view.

To use the pliers \ free scroll and further, the inner cylinder λ in its longitudinal direction slit, as this is illustrated in Fig. 1 to 5. The outer cylinder b is pushed onto this cylinder α. The same has an upper nose-like elevation c on which a movable joint holder d rotatable about an axis is attached. The latter is used to receive and hold the pliers and the device can be a fixed one, as shown in Fig. 1 and 2, the pliers in the fixed holder being actuated by means of an adjusting screw, or the pliers are operated by a resilient, self-holding joint piece d ¹ , Fig. 6, into which the same only needs to be pressed, held and can then still be fastened by means of an adjusting screw to overflow.

The application of this double speculum is as follows:

Both cylinders α and b are introduced into the vagina at the same time, and the vaginal part of the uterus is grasped by means of the forceps, whereupon the inner cylinder α , slit open at the top, is pulled out, which is not possible when using Bandel's speculum because the points of attack the scissors are larger than the diameter of the inner closed cylinder, while with this cylinder, slit open at the top, in connection with the elevation c of the outer cylinder b , the inner one can be easily pulled out, so that one pulls out the parts to be inspected or treated and the pliers, in the holder d respectively. d ¹ can hold on. Since the outer speculum b had a recess / below, the operation through the is important

enlarged free cross-section greatly facilitated, also, by fixing the forceps, the assistance of an assistant is superfluous.
