What Doctors are saying
A gynaecology consultant on BBC News shows our Crystal Clear Orchid Spec in an interview where she uses it to show our patient friendly speculum design as used during the cervical screening process. With our patient friendly speculum design the worry should no longer be a reason for women to avoid the smear test.
As seen on BBC News Health: "We use these."
"This is a patient friendly speculum and never feels cold."
Design
Meet the designer
Designer Bob Roeloffs re-imagined the speculum with a passion for detail, comfort, ease of use and exceptional quality. He believed it was time to move beyond traditional designs and created a new speculum – the Orchid Spec – optimised with gynaecologists, patients, hospitals and an environmentally responsible product life cycle in mind.
Mr Roeloffs holds a master’s degree in Industrial Design Engineering from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
