Otoscope description

An otoscope, also known as an auriscope, is a medical device used by healthcare professionals to examine the ear canal and eardrum. It is a handheld instrument consisting of a head and a handle. The head contains a speculum and a magnifying glass, allowing for a detailed visual inspection of the ear canal and tympanic membrane.

The otoscope is used during routine physical examinations and for evaluating specific ear complaints, such as earaches, sense of fullness in the ear, or hearing loss. The device is designed to rotate up and down into several positions, enabling the healthcare provider to visualize different areas of the ear canal.

Disposable speculum covers are available in various sizes to fit most ear canals, ensuring a comfortable and effective examination. The otoscope is an essential tool for clinicians to diagnose and monitor ear-related conditions, and it plays a crucial role in ear care and audiological assessments.
