It was not until the 19th century that the diagnosis and treatment of throat, nose and ear disorders became much simpler. This was mainly due to the development of better instruments such as Otoscopes, Opthalmoscopes and Laryngoscopes.
It was not until the 19th century that the diagnosis and treatment of throat, nose and ear disorders became much simpler. This was mainly due to the development of better instruments such as Otoscopes, Opthalmoscopes and Laryngoscopes.
Current Otoscopes consist of a handle (containing a (rechargeable) battery) and a head with illumination (F.O./LED), a light source and an ear funnel.
KaWe's range includes an extensive choice of Otoscopes with accessories. The magnifying glass optics - with 3, 2.5 or 2-fold magnification - guarantee an optimal and sharp image. Models with glass fibre optics are equipped with Xenon or LED illumination that produce a particularly bright, white light.
LED light: a convincing success
The constant progress in LED technology has also led to many new developments in research instruments.
The advantages of LED technology over traditional lighting:
- significantly longer lifespan,
- low power consumption,
- resistance (impact and vibration resistance),
- the maximum illuminance is immediately available (no flickering light/stroboscopic effect);
- LED lighting does not emit heat to the area to be examined. This makes research instruments even safer.
