Colposcopes

What is a colposcope?

A colposcope is a medical tool used to closely examine the cervix, vagina, and vulva for any signs of problems or disease at a cellular level. It uses high-powered magnification to identify issues that may be in need of a biopsy or of further investigation or treatment.

Commonly used in the event of a Pap Smear showing an abnormal result, a colposcope is an essential tool for doctors and OB/GYNs to help detect early signs of cervical cancer and other gynaecological conditions – allowing for quick intervention for preventive or diagnostic care.
