A ratchet member 44 on the lever part locks into the handle 56 and when locked with the blades 24. 50 separated at their ends, also prevents adjustment of the pivot pins. The speculum is also provided with a lip 97 at the end of the blade 50, with two depending teeth at the end 98 of the blade 24, and with a thumb grip 40. In use, the body being examined is observed through the opening 26.
