Vintage Surgical Rigid 30cm Proctoscope
This whopper of a proctoscope (Sigmoidoscope? Anoscope? Rectoscope?) has an insertable length of 30cm(!!) and is used for a procedure called a rigid sigmoidoscopy. According to my research, the flexible sigmoidoscopy is said to be the preferred method...
The 'orbturator' (the middle bit) has a rounded tip (for your comfort) and is removed after insertion to facilitate clear viewing of the... insides.
Age unknown, though it is estimated early to mid-1900s. Total length is 40cm, with the handle measuring 15cm (and 2cm of girth if you need that information to decide whether this product is right for you).
