Urethral speculum

Found on eBay an urethral speculum and would like to know where I can buy one. This on eBay went for $110.00 which is way to high, but I would pay up to $50.00.

Keep looking on Ebay you will find them at a lower price if you wait.

Good find! I have never had one used on me but I hope that will change at my next play exam!

DrFermier,

I took a close look at your speculum, it is definitely not for urethral use, it is just too large. The design and length give the impression that it was made for veterinary ob/gyn use or perhaps for specialized use on humans other than the urethra, possibly the rectum,vagina,esophagus, or a body cavity that has been opened surgically. You might further consult with switchablesusie.

G.N.

I bought one for I think $40 on eBay a couple years ago. It has been the most expensive single antique instrument I ever bought. Have any of you ever seen a urethral dilator on eBay. I think it was first designed by Howard Kelley the Johns Hopkins ob/gyn. It looks sort of like a plumb bob with graduations indicating the size of the orifice.
