Abstract
A rectoscope for inspecting a cavity of an individual, including a dilator body, extending prevalently along a longitudinal axis, between a proximal and distal end, the proximal and distal ends are connected by a side wall and define together an inner volume. The dilator body includes in the proximal end a cover movable between a first position, the cover defines a closing of a proximal opening of the proximal end-, and a second position in which the cover is moved away from the proximal opening so as to make the inner volume of the dilator body accessible. The cover includes at least one window made of a frangible material and breakable in use, when the cover is in said first position, to allow a controlled access to the inner volume.
