What is an otoscope?

 

The otoscope is an ergonomic medical device built to be introduced into the ear’s auditory duct. It is used for the inspection of the eardrum.

It comes in the form of a handle, a head with a lighting system, a magnifying lens and a disposable speculum. The light system allows deep exploration of the ear through a magnifying lens. The light bulb, on the other hand, plays an important role in the otoscopy apparatus since it allows to vary the quality of the light and thus to diagnose ear conditions such as ear infections and acute otitis media. Used by healthcare professionals, Girodmedical has selected for you the best models of professional otoscopes such as Heine otoscopes that will be useful during your medical examinations.

The paediatric otoscope remains the simplest diagnostic device to diagnose, but there is also the binocular microscope and the otoendoscope. The examination consists of three steps: examination of the conch pavilion to detect a possible anomaly, examination of the external ear canal to study the direction, size, content and quality of the wall. Then the examination of the eardrum by looking at its colour, position and surface appearance. A successful otoscopic examination shows a clear understanding of the disease in 90% of cases.
