title: Nasal speculum with positionally autoswitched and battery-operated fiber optic illumination.
abstract: We modified a Cottle-type nasal speculum with fiber optics to a positionally autoswitched and battery operated device. By avoiding the use of a fiberoptic cable, our speculum proved to be a practical and effective tool for intranasal illumination.
