Twispex is a modern alternative to traditional speculum designs. Its two-part structure screws together, ensuring easy assembly by healthcare professionals without the need for pre-assembly in the factory. By minimizing the number of parts and simplifying the overall design, Twispex reduces production costs while enhancing patient safety and comfort.



The unique feature of Twispex is its gradual, controlled opening process, which ensures that the device is inserted and opened smoothly. Unlike V-shaped speculums, which often open abruptly and cause discomfort or tissue damage, Twispex’s screw mechanism allows for a slow, precise expansion as it is used. This feature minimizes the risk of patient injury, especially during extended use in high-volume medical practices.



Twispex’s horizontal opening also makes it anatomically compatible with the vaginal canal, improving the patient’s experience during gynecological exams. Designed with transparency in mind, the material allows doctors to perform visual checks and navigate the examination process more easily. By focusing on both cost-efficiency and enhanced usability, Twispex is a product that prioritizes both patient care and the needs of healthcare professionals.
