ENT doctors use nasal speculums to look inside a patient’s nose. Typically the tool is held in one hand and a flashlight in the other. Belgian industrial design firm Raak Design<\/a> streamlined this approach with their new speculum design<\/a> for client VisionTech.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They’ve managed to snake a tube up the inside of the handle with an LED at the end, providing light right where the doctor needs it. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The electronic component is hidden in the handle, and was designed to be removable for autoclaving (sterilization) of the tool.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mechanically speaking, “The spring mechanism is fully enclosed within the sculpted handle,” the firm writes, “creating a precise grip and a calmer, more approachable appearance for both clinicians and patients.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The result is a refined medical tool that improves visibility, simplifies the examination workflow, and is engineered for dependable everyday clinical use.” <\/p>\n
