ABSTRACT:
An otoscopic ear speculum is improved to enable removal of substances or objects from the ear canal. Alternate embodiments can perform like functions in other body orifices. The ear speculum incorporates one or more protrusions that move independently of the body of the speculum.
In one embodiment, protrusions can be bent back towards the distal end of the speculum. Bending is accomplished by pulling a filament attached to the end of the protrusion. The filament may be pulled manually or with the aid of a trigger or a rotating knob.
When placed inside of, or extended from a tube, protrusion mechanisms may serve as a surgical tool. The surgical tool may be adapted to fit a variety of body orifices.
