Speculum

thingiverse

Humans can rapidly produce low-cost 3D printed parts, making them perfect for disposable medical equipment in areas where high-tech gear is scarce or nonexistent. In situations where advanced medical tools are unattainable or insufficient space exists for sanitizing existing equipment, a 3D printer becomes the next best solution. The designed speculum can be adapted for various applications within the human anatomy based on scale and infill printing settings. This innovative speculum breaks away from traditional designs by eliminating pivot hardware or large joints altogether, featuring an open jaw design that significantly increases operating and inspection areas.
