Pratt rectal speculum 8 1/2 3 1/2 long x 1 diameter with set screw

Controlled Access for Consistent Speculum Handling

The Pratt rectal speculum is a surgical speculum designed for rectal examination and procedural access, combining an 8 1/2-inch overall length with a 3 1/2-inch length and 1-inch diameter for a defined working profile. Its set screw supports controlled positioning during handling, helping clinicians maintain a steady instrument setup while working within an organized surgical workflow. The design is directly relevant to General Surgery applications involving rectal access. For ENT teams evaluating instruments across approved specialty workflows, the stated dimensions and adjustment feature provide clear information for facility-led suitability review without implying use beyond the instrument’s named purpose.

• Support rectal examination and procedural access in General Surgery workflows.
• Use the set screw to help maintain the selected instrument position during handling.
• Apply the defined 3 1/2-inch length and 1-inch diameter when assessing access requirements for the intended procedure.
• Review the instrument’s dimensions and configuration during ENT instrument-selection assessments where local protocols determine suitability.
• Incorporate the speculum into organized preparation, handling, and post-procedure reprocessing workflows.
