Abstract:
A compact, lightweight, and sturdy gynecological exam device which can be placed on a bed or other appropriate surfaces for healthcare practitioners to perform examinations. This gynecological exam device is designed to be folded into a compact “box-like” design for easy storage or transportation. When folded, this gynecological exam device is compact enough to fit into a luggage, preferably a standard carry-on luggage with wheels for air travel to remote areas or in-home services. This gynecological exam device has folding and sliding panels, adjustable footrests/stirrups, and adjustable headrest built into various sections of the exam table. These panels can be unfolded or slid into wider sections to accommodate patients of different sizes, heights, and weights. Further, some of these panels are to be used to ensure stability when placed on a soft surface, such as, a mattress, for safety reasons. This gynecological exam device has an adjustable back support for tilting the angle of the top section, and height adjusting mechanism to adjust the height of the lower section to ensure proper positioning of the patient for a safe, comfortable and accurate examination. This gynecological exam device can be laid flat as an exam bed or erected as an exam chair.
