The job of distinguishing what is cerumen and what is not just got easier, thanks to the miracle of USB technology and digitalization of media:
… the Digital MacroView™ Otoscope, a handheld video otoscope with USB connected, plug-and-play capabilities that offers clear, live and still images of the ear canal and tympanic membrane-improving communication and patient compliance.
“The Digital MacroView Otoscope is the latest advance to the device that helps physicians perform one of their most common procedures,” said Cindy Kuiper, senior category manager, Welch Allyn. “Providers now have a simple, affordable tool in a familiar form that gives them the ability to capture, review and store digital images. It offers practitioners the ability to share small details of the ear with other providers as visual descriptive references, and serves as an excellent training aid for educational purposes.”
According to Kuiper, the ability to see, share and store detail of the ear canal and tympanic membrane will be a powerful tool for primary care professionals, ear care specialists and medical educators alike. The Digital MacroView Otoscope has the ability to focus the image for clear views, comes equipped with an insufflation port for pneumatic otoscopy, and conveniently works with all existing Welch Allyn 3.5V power sources.
