Favorite medical equipment/instrument !

My favourite medical instrument is an orchidometer. I guess it comes from my childhood memories about doctor visits.

Same.

I'd have to say my favorite is a large speculum

A scale! It's very important to get an accurate weight on every patient.

Rectal Thermometer

Digital thermometer.! We take each other’s temperature before sex. We have latex covers . I have her lay down on tummy. I lube the thermometer with KY gel. Use my left hand to spread open her buttocks to reveal her nice anus, then slowly insert it. Twirl it a bit as it goes in and again when all the way in. Sometimes I slowly move it with an in and out motion so she can feel it in her rectum. A few times I then take it out, put on a glove, lube with KY, slowly push my finger into her rectum and give her a slow rectal exam. Lots of lube, I sometimes then move finger in and out, she sometimes thrusts her hips in unison.

For me, She likes me to bend over the bed, tells me “ to open” ( her way of saying to reach back and spread my cheeks for her). She pushes a lubed thermometer in my rectum and twirls it, sometimes lifts up a bit on thermometer so it touches my prostate. She also at times after pulling it out ,puts a glove on with KY lube and tells me, “ please stay bent over, I am now going to examine your prostate”. She pushes in slowly .She then massages the sides. After about a minute, thick prostate fluid begins to drip from the end of my urethra. She tells me to “ squeeze around her finger.,” much more drips out, it then becomes a bit thinner. I usually mount her after that or she sometimes just strokes me to ejaculation in this position while continuing to massage my prostate with other hand. When I begin to orgasm, she presses down a bit more on prostate. The most incredible orgasm with this procedure.

If I had to pick just one, I guess it would be the good old fashioned stainless steel Collins speculum. It never fails to get a visible reaction from my patient when I pull it off the tray and start lubricating the blades.

I had a pulse oximeter used on me by a real doctor earlier in the week and I’ve just had one delivered. Have only used it on myself so far, but definitely my new favourite thing. Hearing my pulse is a massive turn on and it gets quicker the more I listen.

Glass thermometer

Being a fanatic of deep IM injections, undoubtely needles and syringes, but above all those fully metal reusable long needles and glass or metal-glass syringes of 10cc or bigger than these, along with all extra related elements like clamping forceps, boilers, steel trays... as well as the injectables themselves: saline bottles and flasks, sterile water ampules and all those needed for material sterilization, preparation and doing the injections.

Stethoscope, Collins Speculum.

For me in order:

1. Stethoscope

2. Otoscope

3. Reflex hammer

4. Blood pressure cuff

5. Throat light

Definitely a stethoscope!

1. Needles

2. Scalpels and other surgical blades

3. Urethral sounds

4. Catheters

5. Forceps

As patient:

Pratt's urethral sounds. With those my play doctor started my first examination. It was unexpected and unconfortable. My urethral meathus was tighter than I and the doctor believed and expected it was.

As doctor with a female patient: Gutmann's vaginal speculum.

As doctor with a male patient:

circumcision kit.

I haven't really participated in an exam before, but if I did, in my somewhat fictionalized world, my favorite medical equipment/etc would be an oxygen tank hooked up to a mask (prefereably a black beauty anesthesia mask with some sort of headstrap).

If we're including attire, then protective masks on the patient. Favorites are a 3M 1860 or a 3M cartridge respirator with pink pancake filters, or a Kimberly-Clark pouch mask..

One of my favorite still has to be the reliable stethoscope. It’s easy to use, it’s reliable, and it still has a bit of kink to it no matter what you do with it.

I have a few that I use still and it’s been a go to for me for years!

For me i would have to be my hospital gown and oxygen masks as a patient. as the doctor it would have to be scrubs gloves and stethoscope

I am a very big fan of the often forgotten neglected and humiliating ( hee hee ) part of the exam the anoscope and the proctoscope I own several of these devices and would not think of doing an exam without including them!

My favourites are the stethoscope and the reflex hammer

Hmm otoscope is a must have.

1. Stethoscope

2. Needles and syringes

3. Glass Rectal Thermometer

And used in that order

Syringe

Speculum

Enema Nozzle

Rectal Thermometer

Wow....7 years since the last time I responded in this thread. Yowser!

Nothing has changed with me. You cannot possibly conduct any sort of examination without a stethoscope and sphygmomanometer. Period.

Enema bulb, vaginal bulb, rectoscope...

Poire à lavement, poire vaginale, rectoscope…

- Gloves and Lubricant

- Syringe

That's a really old but interesting thread brought up again.

So let's give it a try:

1) Absolutely necessary for an exam are

- Exam gloves,

- Lube,

- Rectal thermometer,

- Speculum (or rather specula😉 ),

- Enema/Douche bulb (at least on the instruments tray...),

- some suppositories and

- the patients file.

2) Further appreciated equipment is

- a scale,

- stirrups/knee rests (or something the patient can put her legs/feet on),

- IV pole and enema bag with some nozzles,

- a variety of specula including anal specula/anoscopes etc.,

- a blood pressure monitor,

- a lightsource, some wooden spatulas, maybe even an otoscope,

- q tips for getting samples

and much more. Now I start dreaming of all the possible treatments my patients might require. And as their doctor it is my duty to do whatever necessary for their well-being - including having all sorts of instruments available 😃

Edit: Ooops, I forgot the already mentioned stethoscope...

I rank the anesthesia mask at the top, and actually like the newer clear ones. Then I would have to place masks, gloves, gowns, bouffant hats, etc. after. Also like stirrups!
