The idea

Gynecologic instruments include specula and other instruments designed for the vagina, cervix and uterus.

In practice

A weighted vaginal speculum holds back the posterior vaginal wall without being held by hand; other specula hold the vaginal walls apart to show the cervix.

Where people slip

A weighted speculum is heavy, so place it gently and never leave it where it could fall.
