Twispex is a revolutionary two-part speculum designed to improve both patient comfort and doctor usability. Unlike traditional V-shaped speculums, Twispex offers a gradual, controlled opening through its unique screw-assembly mechanism. Made from durable, transparent plastic, this design reduces the need for pre-assembly and provides a safer, more anatomically compatible solution for vaginal exams.
Key Features
Screw Assembly: Twispex’s two parts screw into one another, creating a seamless and secure assembly process. This reduces pre-assembly steps at the factory, lowering production costs.
Gradual Opening: The screw design allows for controlled, gradual insertion, minimizing tissue damage and discomfort often caused by traditional speculums.
Horizontal Opening: Twispex opens horizontally rather than vertically, making it anatomically paired with the vaginal canal for improved safety.
Cost-Effective: With only two parts and smaller dimensions, Twispex reduces the overall production costs while improving functionality.

Conclusion
Twispex represents the future of gynecological tools by offering a comfortable, safe, and easy-to-use design that addresses the shortcomings of traditional speculums.
