Gynecologist tools range from common exam instruments like the speculum (to open the vaginal walls) and lubricant, to diagnostic devices such as the magnifying colposcope and ultrasound probe, and specialized surgical tools like forceps, clamps, dilators, curettes, and retractors for procedures like biopsies, D&Cs, or childbirth. These instruments, typically made of stainless steel, allow for visual inspection, tissue sampling, and surgical interventions in the female reproductive system.
Speculum:
(Cusco, Graves, Auvard's) Holds vaginal walls apart for visualization.
Colposcope:
Magnifies the cervix and vagina for detailed inspection, often after abnormal Pap smears.
Ultrasound Probe:
Uses sound waves for internal imaging of uterus, ovaries, and early pregnancy.
Uterine Sound:
Measures the depth and direction of the uterine cavity.
Biopsy Tools:
Forceps (like punch or FemCerv) to collect tissue samples for analysis.
