Which size for which case?
| Small / Medium | Large | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical use | Routine exam, haemorrhoid diagnosis | Procedural — biopsy, surgical work |
| Patient | Small: paediatric, elderly, stenotic or painful cases · Medium: general adult | Adult, procedure under wider view |
| Share of a general clinic's order | The volume sizes — medium heaviest | Smaller quantity, ordered to caseload |
| Field of view | Sufficient for diagnosis and inspection | Wider — working room for instruments |
A first mixed order weighted towards medium, corrected on the repeat once real usage is known, is the lowest-risk way to open a new account.
Frequently Asked Questions — Disposable Anal Speculum
Which size mix should a clinic order?
It depends on the caseload, not on a formula. Routine haemorrhoid and screening exams run mostly on the medium size, small covers paediatric, elderly and stenotic or painful cases, and large is for procedural work needing a wider view. A general proctology clinic ordering a first mixed case usually weights it towards medium with smaller quantities of small and large, then adjusts on the repeat order once the real usage is known. Send us your monthly exam volume and we will quote a mix you can adjust later.
Does it come with an obturator, and is a light source included?
Confirm both with us at quote time — this is where specula differ most between suppliers and where a wrong assumption costs a whole shipment. The barrel is transparent so it works with the exam light or headlamp your clinic already owns; it does not require a proprietary light unit. Tell us whether your customers expect an obturator in the pack and we will confirm the configuration before you order.
Sterile individually packed, or non-sterile in bulk?
Both are available and the right answer depends on who is buying. Clinics doing patient-facing exams generally want individually pouched sterile units — a fresh instrument per patient with no reprocessing. Buyers supplying facilities with their own sterilisation, or repackaging under their own brand, often take non-sterile bulk at a lower unit cost. Mention which at quote time so we confirm price and lead time correctly.
Does the XY056 anal speculum need lubrication?
Yes. Apply sterile lubricant or KY gel before insertion for patient comfort.
Why disposable instead of a reusable metal speculum?
The comparison is not really instrument versus instrument — it is unit price versus reprocessing cost. A reusable speculum carries per-cycle cleaning, sterilisation, staff time and tracking, plus the instrument being out of circulation between patients. A single-use unit removes all of that and the cross-contamination question with it. For clinics without a reliable sterilisation loop the disposable is usually the cheaper option once the whole cycle is counted.

Full Description — Disposable Anal Speculum
Buyers sourcing a disposable anal speculum usually get stuck on the same two questions: which size mix to order, and whether the pack configuration matches what their clinics expect. The instrument itself is a commodity; the ordering decisions are where money is lost. This page answers both.
Size mix: match the caseload, not a formula
The three sizes are not interchangeable in practice. Medium carries routine haemorrhoid and screening exams and is the volume size for most general proctology clinics. Small matters more than buyers expect — paediatric patients, elderly patients, and stenotic or painful cases where a medium simply will not be tolerated. Large is procedural: biopsy and surgical work needing a wider field. If you are opening a new account and do not yet know the mix, weight the first order towards medium, take smaller quantities of small and large, and correct on the repeat once real usage data exists. We quote mixed cases specifically so you can do this.
Confirm the configuration before the shipment, not after
Specula differ between suppliers in exactly the places buyers assume are standard: whether an obturator is included, and whether a light source is expected. Our barrel is transparent and works with the exam light or headlamp the clinic already owns — no proprietary light unit to source alongside it. Tell us what your customers expect in the pack and we confirm it in writing before production.
Sterile pouched or non-sterile bulk — a pricing decision
Clinics running patient-facing exams want individually pouched sterile units: fresh instrument per patient, no reprocessing loop. Buyers who repackage under their own brand, or supply facilities with their own sterilisation, often take non-sterile bulk at a lower unit cost. Both come off the same line. Say which at quote time and the price and lead time are confirmed correctly the first time.
The rest of the exam room
An anal speculum rarely ships alone. Clinics ordering it are usually restocking the whole exam consumable line — examination gloves and sampling swabs go in the same order, and buyers supplying endoscopy units often add the disposable gastroscopy kit. Consolidating them into one shipment is usually the difference between a viable freight cost and an awkward one.
