Product Description

3.2V Professional Diagnostic Otoscope Kit with 3 specula and zippered leatherette case. Our kit also includes a Disposable Specula Adaptor that allows you to use disposable specula if you are in clinical practice. This unit is BRAND NEW and the latest model from the manufacturer, RA Bock Diagnostics. It is of chrome plate brass construction which is very durable. The handle uses 2 "C" alkaline batteries (not included) to supply power to an ultra-bright high intensity 3.2 Volt halogen bulb for a very bright light. The heart of any otoscope is in it's lens. Like all the finer quality otoscopes ours uses an optical quality GLASS lens that is specially-coated to help resist scratches. The lens uses a 5X magnification and is hinged and swings aside for cleaning and easy access. IMPORTANT: The otoscope head attaches to the handle with an advanced design Luer-Lock mount instead of a small screw to hold the head in place. This is the way all higher quality otoscopes lock the head in place. Our otoscope even has an all metal insufflator outlet, to facilitate use of an insufflation bulb if you choose. You will be impressed with the clarity and definition this otoscope will deliver on visualizing the tympanic membrane. THIS UNIT is backed with an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee and a 3 year warranty. Amazon also provides free return shipping if you do not like the otoscope. PLEASE contact us if you receive your otoscope and the bulb is not working. Halogen bulbs contain a fragile filament that can sometimes be damaged by rough handling in transit. We can ship you out a new bulb incased in foam that usually resolves the problem and you will go on to love your otoscope. I want you to know as a physician this really is a nice otoscope set for the money and we will immediately take care of any problems if you will just let us know about them. Doc Jim

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice otoscope for the money spent, February 21, 2007

I have been very impressed with this otoscope. It is well made and gives a very clear picture of the eardrum. It works every bit as well as the old Welch Allan my brother gave me. The disposable specula thing is also nice since it allows me to use the same type of specula my doctor uses in his office and can be thrown away when done. Great customer service as well when it came to answering any questions I had after my purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality otoscope and ophthalmoscope don't buy!, February 23, 2010

This review is from: NEW Pro QUALITY 3.2V HALOGEN OTOSCOPE SET includes DISPOSABLE SPECULA ADAPTOR and 3 sizes of reuseable specula plus Zippered Leathette Case (Health and Beauty)

Warning to all considering purchasing this item. Don't! Currently I purchased one of these units labeled "professional otoscope / ophthalmoscope". These units can be found under similar names on the internet as well as other sites. They are all the same as I found out when others in my class had the same units. They are all the same quality and visualization with these units is extremely poor. The uses very cheap attachable heads that are far too big for the ear. When visualizing the tympanic membrane, the magnification glass is not gauged correctly and causes a tunneling effect. To explain, instead of magnifying the end of the otoscope (where you are looking), it magnifies the entire tunnel, causing it to look like you are looking from a FAR distance away and you can barely see anything at all.
The ophthalmascope on the other hand....Well, it may say 3.5v, but it is more dim than the 2.5v welch allyn or ADC brands out there. Also the light is not adjustable in size. It has one size, LARGE, this makes for poor visualization of the optic nerve and vessels. You can get a red reflex, but barely. The light is too large and too dim for much of anything.
I suggest investing in something a little more expensive, there are some less expensive portable units made for companies such as welch allyn that are better priced. These units also hold their resale value.

My suggestion, buyer beware, these are not as they are described. There are several reviews that appear very fake. A physician, NP or PA would not use a unit like this. Students, for learning, find something you can actually see out of to learn from.

For more info or pictures of the poor quality craftsmanship, details are available.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Sturdy and Bright Professional Model Otoscope, April 11, 2008

I have been very impressed with my purchase. This is a really nice professional style ear scope. The light is very bright and what you see in the ear is very clear. I could not be happier. I even took it with me to my pediatricians office and he was impressed with how well it worked. The only problem I had with it was that I dropped it 2 weeks after receiving it and the light went dim for about a week and then went out completely. I was though able to purchase another bulb from the company and it has been working well for the past 6 months.
