A rectal speculum is used to keep the anus open for diagnostic viewing of the rectum or for anal surgery, allowing examination of the lining of the rectum and anus for signs of injury, disease, or abnormalities. The speculum is inserted into the anus, and the battery-operated light helps illuminate the area for better visibility during the examination.</dc:description>
