The women seem to prefer them probably because they *look* friendlier than metal.The click quits being a problem when you become used to using them. I also like the attatchable lights.They seem much more convenient to me. I guess I like convenience,because my main reason for prefering plasic is--who wants to sterilize something you don't have to ? You can keep a few sterile plasic speculums on hand for checking for ROM. Paula

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
