How to use:
 
Preparation: The patient is usually asked to clear the rectum using an enema or laxative prior to the procedure. The patient lies on their side with knees bent towards the chest.
Digital Exam (Preliminary): A lubricated, gloved finger is first inserted into the anus to check for soreness or blockages.
Insertion: The lubricated Max Plus Proctoscope, with the obturator (bullet tip) in place, is gently inserted through the anus and into the rectum.
Visualization: Once fully inserted, the obturator is removed. A light source is directed down the hollow tube, allowing the doctor to visually examine the walls of the rectum and anal canal for abnormalities.
Procedure: Air may be gently inflated to expand the area for better viewing. The instrument is then slowly withdrawn while maintaining visualization. Any necessary biopsies or treatments are performed through the hollow tube.
