Clinical Application
Designed to provide direct visualization and controlled access to the anal canal and distal rectum for diagnostic and minor operative procedures. Common applications include proctologic examinations, anoscopy, directed biopsy, inspection and treatment of hemorrhoids, placement of local therapies, and facilitating instrument passage for minor transanal procedures. The instrument's bore and length allow clinicians to visualize and work within the distal rectal vault while maintaining a stable working channel.
Design & Configuration
The Schulze Bergmann configuration is a tubular speculum geometry that balances lumen diameter and length to maximize visibility while minimizing tissue trauma. A 23 x 150 mm lumen provides a practical working aperture for visualization and instrument introduction; the 22 cm overall length permits reach into the distal rectum without excessive protrusion. The straight tubular design stabilizes the anal verge and maintains exposure during inspection and minor operative tasks.
