Very functional fiber-optic LED pocket
otoscope that makes use of a proprietary Full Spectrum
Bright White LED. The big advantage of this otoscope is
the very bright fiber-optic LED lighting with a 100,000
hour lifetime meaning you will probably never have to
replace a bulb again. If the bulb does go out for any
reason just contact us and we will send out a new one
for free. Our competitors pocket otoscope (W/A) bulbs
are now running $35-$40. Halogen bulbs are incandescent
meaning they contain a fragile filament. These go out
with just normal use and much sooner if the otoscope is
ever jarred or dropped. The other big advantage is that
our proprietary LED uses very little battery power. We
have had physicians email us that they have had
batteries last 6 months or more. Our LED also has a
proprietary DC-DC boost converter that allows it to work
even when the batteries are very low. For the money
spent you will not find a better value in a pocket
otoscope for clinical use. The Pocket Ophthalmoscope
features a halogen light source for true tissue color. 5
Aperture selections (small, large, fixation, semicircle
and red-free). 17 lenses from minus 20 to plus 20
diopters. Illuminated dial. Silicon coated protection of
glass components. Built in lens dust cover.
Ophthalmoscope head made from polimid, an impact
resistant thermoplastic. "AA" metal battery handle
interchanges with Otoscope. Lifetime Quality Performance

Comparison of light
from our LED vs. Halogen Mini Fiber-Optic Pocket
Otoscope
The energy efficiency and
durability of this otoscope is simply amazing. The
LED light source has no filament to break like
a conventional incandescent powered otoscope. The
LED bulb is virtually indestructible and will not be
hurt by sudden jarring or drops. You will be amazed
by the amount of light created by the LED bulb. The
light produced by this otoscope is full spectrum
white light and not the yellow light typically created
by incandescent light bulbs on other otoscopes. With a
light emitting diode there is no fragile filament to
break so it can withstand repeated dropping or rough
handling. The halogen bulbs found on other otoscopes
burn very hot and eat battery power, they are
also somewhat fragile, and can be broken when the
otoscope is dropped or handled in any rough manner. The
special halogen bulbs in some premier otoscopes cost
thirty dollars each, and aside from failing when
dropped, they burn out after a time, just from ordinary
usage.
