Gurin Professional Fiber Optic Otoscope

Disclosure: I was provided a sample for reviewing purposes but a positive review was not asked for or promised or implied.


Going to the doctors is never fun and gets costly if it's only a minor sickness.  Gurin Professional Fiber Optic Otoscope was helpful for me to check for blockage or infection in my mom's ears and nose.  

I really like the otoscope's metal finish and how easy it was to magnify small regions by 5x.  It comes with a bright light 3.2V halogen to illuminate the area and eight disposable specula adapters (you can purchase more if you run out).  The Gurin Otoscope comes with a little zippered leather case and small area for the specula inside the case.  You will need two C batteries to operate the otoscope.  It's pretty cool to see all the tiny hair follicles, ear wax and boogers.  Wished the product came with instructions on how to operate and clean the product though.

 

Amazon Product Description

3.2V Professional Diagnostic Fiber Optic Otoscope Kit with 8 specula and zippered leatherette case. Our kit also includes a Disposable Specula Adaptor that allows you to use disposable specula if you are in clinical practice. This unit is BRAND NEW and the latest model from the manufacturer, RA Bock Diagnostics. It is of chrome plate brass construction which is very durable. The handle uses 2 "C" alkaline batteries (not included) to supply power to an ultra-bright high intensity 3.2 Volt halogen bulb for a very bright light. The heart of any otoscope is in it's lens. Like all the finer quality otoscopes ours uses an optical quality GLASS lens that is specially-coated to help resist scratches. The lens uses a 5X magnification and is hinged and swings aside for cleaning and easy access. IMPORTANT: The otoscope head attaches to the handle with an advanced design Luer-Lock mount instead of a small screw to hold the head in place. This is the way all higher quality otoscopes lock the head in place. Our otoscope even has an all metal insufflator outlet, to facilitate use of an insufflation bulb if you choose. You will be impressed with the clarity and definition this otoscope will deliver on visualizing the tympanic membrane.
