Otoscope: <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welch Allyn 22820 PocketScope Otoscope<\/a> This easy-to-care for otoscope uses “AA” batteries and is very lightweight. I carry it in my pocket for when I need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t work as well as an in-office wall-mounted unit, but when rounding in an assisted living facility and\/or nursing home, you need something small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The otoscope uses a halogen light with fiber optics for decent illumination of the tympanic membrane and canal. You get a fairly wide-angle viewing lens. It says there is a sealed system for pneumatic otoscopy, which I personally haven’t used. It comes with a built-in throat illuminator and penlight for added versatility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
