ComfortSpec® Exam Shorts
ComfortSpec® Exam Shorts — soft, stretchy shorts with a discreet opening in the crotch designed to maintain privacy and dignity during pelvic exams.
They allow clinicians access, while helping women feel secure and covered.
The ComfortSpec® Speculum
The ComfortSpec® speculum is the first original speculum design to be awarded a United States patent since the 1800's.
