    Area of Science:

    • Otorhinolaryngology
    • Medical Device Innovation

    Background:

    • Standard nasal specula are used for nasal examinations.
    • Separate instruments are typically required for oral and pharyngeal examinations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe the oronasal speculum.
    • To highlight its utility in streamlining clinical examinations.

    Main Methods:

    • Description of the oronasal speculum's design.
    • Conceptualization of its application in clinical settings.

    Main Results:

    • The oronasal speculum integrates nasal speculum functionality with a tongue depressor.
    • Facilitates immediate sequential examination of the nasal passages, oral cavity, and pharynx.

    Conclusions:

    • The oronasal speculum offers a practical solution for efficient head and neck examinations.
    • Reduces the need for instrument exchange, potentially saving time and improving workflow.
