Product overview
Frick speculums: design, size and uses.
The Frick speculum keeps the mouth of a large animal open so that medication can be given or the mouth examined without the handler's hand being at risk. It has a bar or frame that sits between the upper and lower jaws and a handle held by the operator. The design is long established in cattle and horse work.
Size, handle length and the shape of the part that sits in the mouth vary between designs, and edges that contact the animal need to be smooth. We confirm these from your reference piece or drawing. A speculum is often used with the balling gun or drenching gun.
