ABSTRACT:
A cover for a vaginal speculum that prevents the vaginal walls from collapsing and improves a physician's visibility during a surgical procedure or a gynecological examination is disclosed. The cover includes an elongated, generally tubular elastic sleeve made from a biocompatible mesh material. The sleeve has a proximal end and a distal end with an opening located at each end. The sleeve encircles and extends over the length of both of the arms of a vaginal speculum. Strings are located adjacent the proximal end of the sleeve and aid in the removal of the sleeve once the examination or procedure has been completed.
