System and method to remove a foreign object from a body cavity, the system including: a speculum that has a base configured to attach to an otoscope head a hollow tapered section, having a wide end coupled to the base, and a narrow end that is open and a hollow tube having a proximal end and an open distal end the proximal end coupled to the narrow end of the hollow tapered section to form a hollow interior of the speculum. The system further includes a suction port coupled to a lateral side of the speculum, the suction port configured to provide access from outside the speculum to the hollow interior of the speculum a suction pump configured to provide a variably controlled suction strength and an interface to provide the variably controlled level of suction to the suction port.
