Otoscope
The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope features a patented
optical system that provides the practitioner with an increased
field of view and magnification to get a large, clear image of
the tympanic membrane. Welch Allyn’s traditional diagnostic
otoscopes feature a wide-angle magnified viewing lens.
Fiber optics and halogen light
produce optimum illumination
The Welch Allyn otoscope uses both fiber optic
technology and Halogen HPX
™
illumination. Fiberoptic
light transmission provides a 360º ring of light without visual
obstruction or specular reflection. This distal light results in
glare-free viewing and an easier examination.
Focusing capability (MacroView Otoscope Only)
The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope has the capability to zoom
in or out on the area in view, resulting in a clearer image to aid
in diagnosis. A focusing wheel, conveniently located on each
side of the otoscope and the back eyepiece, is available to the
practitioner for adjusting the focal length. The adjustable focal
length can compensate for both the practitioner’s vision and
the length of the patient’s ear canal, thus creating the clearest
view of the tympanic membrane possible.
Pneumatic otoscopy capability
When examining tympanic membrane mobility, the
ability to perform pneumatic otoscopy is extremely
valuable. The Welch Allyn otoscope incorporates
a closed system and an airtight seal.
Specula attachment and removal
The Welch Allyn MacroView otoscope features
a unique specula attachment and removal design,
the TipGrip, which provides the practitioner with a
secure attachment between the specula and the otoscope during the exam.
After the examination is complete, the tip can be released from the otoscope
by turning the TipGrip counterclockwise or by simply twisting off the tip
with one hand, as is the technique with traditional otoscope models.
SPECULUM OPTIONS
In order to obtain the maximum field of view, the examiner should
always select the largest size speculum which fits comfortably into the
patient’s ear canal.
The following guidelines may be helpful:
The examiner can choose from several types of specula and
specula accessories:
The first type of speculum is reusable and made of lightweight, durable
polypropylene. Reusable specula are available in four sizes: 2.5 mm,
3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm.
The second type of speculum is the Universal KleenSpec
®
, a disposable,
economical and convenient tip. KleenSpec tips are made of nontoxic
plastic and are available in two sizes: 2.75 mm (pediatric) and
4.25 mm (adult).
The third type of speculum, available for traditional Welch Allyn
otoscopes, is SofSpec.,
®
a reusable specula with a rigid plastic base and
a special soft material at the distal end. SofSpec fits snugly into the
external ear canal. These specula are available in three sizes: 3 mm, 5 mm,
and 7 mm and may be cleaned or sterilized by conventional methods.
For improved seal and comfort during pneumatic otoscopy, the
SofSeal™ can be placed on the end of either a disposable or reusable
ear speculum. Available in two sizes, the various combinations of
the SofSeal and ear specula allow you to optimize the fit for each
individual patient’s ear canal.
To perform instrumentation under visualization, the slotted instrumentation
tip (compatible with 23810 and 23820 MacroView) is recommended.
