Understanding the Proctoscope – A Vital Tool in Colorectal Examination

Basic Overview of the Proctoscope

A Proctoscope is a medical instrument used to examine the anal canal, rectum, and lower part of the colon. It is a hollow, rigid tube made from either stainless steel or medical-grade plastic. The device allows doctors to visually inspect and diagnose issues in the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Product History

Proctoscopes have been used for decades in colorectal and gastrointestinal diagnosis. Early versions were metal and reusable, later evolving to include plastic, disposable options for hygiene and convenience. Over time, improvements in design and material quality have enhanced patient safety and comfort. Today, both metal and plastic Proctoscopes are widely used in hospitals and clinics.

Clinical Applications of a Proctoscope

• Proctoscopy
• Hemorrhoid examination

• Foreign body removal from the rectum

Instructions for Use

• Clean the area around the anus.
• Apply a medical lubricant to the Proctoscope.
• Gently insert the instrument into the rectum.
• Use the light source if available for internal visibility.
• Perform visual examination or treatment.

Sterile vs. Reusable Proctoscope: Which One to Choose?

When selecting a Proctoscope, the choice between disposable and reusable types depends on the clinical setting. Disposable plastic Proctoscopes are ideal for outpatient departments and clinics where quick, hygienic use is essential. Reusable metal Proctoscopes are preferred in surgical centers for their durability and ability to withstand sterilization. Each type serves a different purpose, but both ensure safe and effective examination of the rectal canal. Advin Health Care offers both options to meet diverse medical needs
