How to Use Vaginal Speculum?
Step 1 – Prepare and Inform the Patient
Informing the patient about the procedure of vaginal examination is vital to make them comfortable and relaxed. As a healthcare professional, ask the patient if they have any doubts before you begin using the plastic speculum. Vaginal examination requires some steps that the patient needs to follow. Before examination, ask the patient to empty the bladder. Depending on the procedure, ensure that the patient is not wearing any clothes.
Step 2 – Start with Sanitization
Now that the patient is ready for the examination, having the examination platform prepped is vital. Ensure everything is sanitized, from bed to equipment. Keep gloves, lubricant, vaginal speculum, and other needed medical essentials handy while the patient is preparing for the procedure. In the case of surgical procedures, keep medical instruments and emergency supplies ready to avoid delays and complications.
Step 3 – Prepare the Speculum
Start with preparing the disposable vaginal speculum. Plastic speculum can get difficult to insert in the vagina without any greasy substance. Using a gel, lubricate the speculum for smooth and pain-free insertion. Before applying the lubricant, sanitize the speculum for added safety.
Step 4 – Insert the Disposable Vaginal Speculum
Once the speculum is prepared, warn the patient before inserting it in their vagina. To insert, hold the vaginal speculum in your right hand and use your left-hand part of the labia to access the vagina. Slowly insert in the vagina with the screw part facing upwards. Rotate it at 90 degrees while inserting, and then slowly open the blades to expand the vaginal walls.
