Rectal Speculum Mathieu 19cm Fine Quality Surgi Instruments

The quality of them is awesome! Definitely searches the purpose for which I purchased them.

It does what it says it does, but the bottom prong is loose, and it sometimes jams when expanding.There are various pinch hazards, such as on the grips when squeezing it, and on the prongs when closing. I'd advise not allowing it to fully close when inserted and rather to slide it out when mostly closed to avoid a internal pinch.The mechanism used to expand it has a bit of sharp metal on it, but the prongs are smooth and have no sharp edges.

It pinches a little, and the set screw to hold it open is tricky to operate alone but still wonderful for the price

I wouldn't put this anywhere near your soft parts. If you want to keep it around to scare someone, sure... go ahead. Just don't use it unless you want instant pinch cuts in the worst places.

Yes it is a rectal speculum, yes it is metal, and yes it opens. The screw was bent, the bottom prong does not seat flush against the other 2 which can cause damage to a person. Also, the screws used to keep the springs spread was bent. Not high quality at all! Do your self a favor and spend more on a quality one.

It's great just wish it would open wider

The chrome plating was flaking off the lower jaw at the tip. I was able to wire wheel it off completely and polish the metal and reassemble the tool. Not medical grade by any means, but that's not my intention anyway so I was able to salvage it for my purposes. Mediocre quality. I expect it to have a short lifespan at best.

The build quality, fit & finish are very good for the price. After looking at mine very carefully, I found that it was well made and safe to use. No issues.You have to be extremely careful - as many of these low-cost instruments are very cheaply made and could land you in the hospital in seconds!
