One end of the tube has a roughly spherical metal weight surrounding the channel of the speculum. A weighted speculum is placed in the vagina during vaginal surgery with the patient in the lithotomy position. The weight holds the speculum in place and frees the surgeon's hands for other tasks. ||

| SoftECC || The FDA Compliant disposable Soft-ECC [[endocervical]] curette can be used to biopsy the endocervical canal during [[colposcopy]] or the evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding. Unlike the conventional sharp endocervical curette, the Soft-ECC is intended to gently frictionally abrade and collect abundant trans-epithelial tissue samples into the patent pending KYLON fabric.

In the lab, the tissue can be easily and efficiently removed from the curette fabric for processing that is identical to the conventional endocervical curettage tissue sample. ||

| SoftBiopsy || The FDA Compliant disposable SoftBiopsy can be used to biopsy the [[exocervix]] and lower genital tract during [[colposcopy]] or when a suspicious lesion is detected. Unlike the “sharp edge” biopsy design of gynecological biopsy devices, the SoftBiopsy design is intended to gently frictionally abrade and collect abundant trans-epithelial tissue samples into the patent pending KYLON fabric. The tip device containing the sample can be placed in the fixative vial and transported to the lab. In the lab, the tissue can be easily and efficiently removed from the curette fabric for processing that is identical to the conventional lower genital tract biopsy or curettage tissue sample. ||

The following is a list of instruments that are used in modern obstetrics and gynaecology.[1][2]

Instrument Uses
Speculum A specialized form of vaginal speculum is the weighted speculum, which consists of a broad half tube which is bent at about a 90 degree angle, with the channel of the tube on the exterior side of the angle. One end of the tube has a roughly spherical metal weight surrounding the channel of the speculum. A weighted speculum is placed in the vagina during vaginal surgery with the patient in the lithotomy position. The weight holds the speculum in place and frees the surgeon's hands for other tasks.
Auvard's speculum Speculum used in standard vaginal procedures.
Cusco's speculum Bivalved self retaining speculum. Its advantage over Sim's speculum is that no assistance is required to hold it in place. Hence, minor procedures like papsmear, IUCD insertions can be performed independently. Its disadvantage is the limited visualization of vagina walls.
