Abstract

A medical endovaginal instrument particularly useful as a speculum has a pair of arms pivotally mounted with respect to each other and formed with convex non-confronting surfaces to facilitate their insertion, into the vagina of a patient, and with concave confronting surfaces to facilitate collection of fluids within the patient's vagina when inserted therein. At least one of the arms is formed at or adjacent to its distal end, with a passageway extending through the interior of the arm and configured to receive an ultrasound transducer such as to expose it to tissue in the vagina when the arms are inserted therein.
