A member asked:
Is there a child's size speculum for pap smears?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Odd question: There is a small sized speculum designed for visualizing the cervix on virginal patients. Pap smears are not usually collected on patients unless they are sexually active, which would not require the small speculum.
