Articles on the Speculum

A couple interesting articles:

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2018/03/women-redesigning-speculum/555167/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AtlanticScienceAndTechnology+%28The+Atlantic+-+Technology%29 - history of the speculum and also tells about a possible redesign

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/11/why-no-one-can-design-a-better-speculum/382534/ - has more on the history.

I find it interesting that in the 70's, women would get together and have "speculum parties" where they would look at their cervix!

Really cool articles! Thanks for sharing 😃

I'm curious to see the design. Too bad they didn't have a picture of it..

@bbw4doc did you read this article?

I think this is what the redesign looks like. And it would be interesting to know what woman think about it. I mean I know this one is made by women but who knows how fast this will be adopted by obgyns and other doctors.
