SAZER Vaginal Speculum

A high percentage of women aged 15-65 avoid pelvic procedures involving speculums due to fear of discomfort, which can lead to increased rates of reproductive health issues. Major issues with current speculum designs include increased occurrence of vaginal wall collapsing during examination, poor visualization of vaginal walls, cold metal feel, pinch points, and loud clicking sounds, which all lead to general discomfort. Our solution includes a novel opening mechanism, a tri-valvular conical blade design, variable blade sizes, and a novel locking mechanism to address these current needs. This novel design allows for easy insertion and less patient discomfort, and with transparent blades, physicians will have improved visualization of the vaginal wall. With an ergonomic, single-handed operation, our solution will improve patient satisfaction, encourage routine examinations, and result in reduced risk of late diagnosis for cervical cancer, STIs, and other reproductive diseases.
