Otoscopes

Welch Allyn is the global leader in the field of manufacturing medical equipments such as medical diagnostics devices, monitoring systems, etc. The company will complete its 100 years of unparalleled contribution to medical science with a record of regularly introducing products with original design and advanced technology.
Otoscope has been one of the most highly in-demand products manufactured by Welch Allyn due to highly efficient design and technology. An Otoscope is a medical diagnostics device used to examine the auditory canal and Tympanic membrane. Welch Allyn Otoscope consists of various parts which can be attached together. It comes with a multi-purpose cylindrical base to which the real otoscope is attached. The cylindrical base is designed to be held in hand while in use and works as a handle. There is a compartment in it which contains rechargeable batteries. In the older and rudimentary version, there is a magnifying lens and a small light source attached to the front end of the otoscope. The examiner can ‘peep into’ the auditory canal by putting his line of sight through the lens.
The technologically improved version of otoscope is called Video otoscope as there is a video camera instead of magnifying lens. Video captured by the camera can be viewed on TV or computer monitor. Videos can be recorded and can be viewed later. An enhanced picture quality can be obtained by adjusting display settings and with the aid of graphic softwares.
Welch Allen has launched its most improved and newest version of Otoscope, it has been trademarked as Welch Allyn MacroView Otoscope. It has highly improved features than its predecessors. It uses optical fibers for transportation of signals and a video camera of higher resolution and wider field of view. Given below are some ‘coolest’ features available in this Otoscope:
Fiber optics technology used for signal communication
Full view of the Tympanic membrane can be captured by the camera
Field of view is double to that of the older versions
Magnification is 30% higher than other versions

The Otoscope can be detached from the handle which (handle) can then be used to examine throat also. This model has been launched in the regular as well as veterinary category. This is highly recommended for diagnostics and education purposes.
