Ideally, every reusable speculum has to be thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, decontaminated, and sterilized before using it in between patients. Anything shorter than that may lead to possible cross-contamination. Furthermore, it is also encouraged to use a single-use speculum whenever the opportunity arises. However, it has become the norms and basic practice for every health centre to abide by these standard medical operating procedure.
