ADC Otoscope/Ophthalmoscope Diagnostic Set, Pocket Size, Xenon Lamp, 2.5V, Hard Case, Diagnostix 5110N, Black

I've only used it once or twice...so time will tell. Pro: Compact, nice case, extra disposable specula, affordable, It appears to be well-made (this must be tested with more use). It doesn't look cheap like some of the others in the price range. It's easy to use (switch, etc) and it does not have a funky smell (like some of the Welch Allyn kits my classmates have) Cons: The handle gets hot after a couple minutes of use, but not really an issue. Until I get better at using diagnostic kit...it's hard to tell if the quality is proportional to the price. My other classmates spent $400+ on their kits and I think for what we're using it for it's good enough. Overall: Happy with my purchase. I'm still learning how to use it... Since I will probably be using the kit in the hospital...this is just one to practice with.

obviously, if you pay 1/4- 1/5 of the price of a high dollar set, you can't expect the utmost in quality. it's just a trade off. i ordered this set as a first year med student and havent regretted it at all. it serves great for OSCE and phys exam learning. my thinking was that i'll buy this cheap set, since i have zero money, and it will be a great set to have for med mission trips (AA batteries are great when you are in a village w/ no electricity and if it gets snatched- you lost $100 as opposed to 500). plus, i feel like most practices have oto/ophth in exam rooms, so i'm glad i didnt spend money on an expensive set. definitely recommend this set. it is efficient quality (actually better quality than what i was expecting) but obviously not high quality.

I wanted a relatively low cost Otoscope for hospice home visits and my occasional work with the State Guard. As a practicing Internist for 25 years I'm a bit spoiled by the Welch Allyn versions, which from an office standpoint are the only kind I would have(in the office.) The ONLY reason I did not give this 5 stars is the light is not as bright as the WA version of the same, which I also own. Also, there is no rheostat; it's just on and off although to be truthful I can't think of a time in 25 years I wanted to illuminate an ear or throat with "less light" so that seems a bit silly doesn't it? I'm very impressed with the sold construction of this device. I think it will hold up well. It comes in a very protective plastic box and even includes two extra bulbs. It uses the standard WA Kleenspec 4.25 disposable specula. For the price this product is a steal.

Welch Allyn tips fit this perfectly - I tested it. It's a sturdy tool that feels like quality and with a convenient battery. The hard case is nice, presentable, and it protects the equipment while in my bag. It comes with a spare lightbulb for each of the scopes which is neat. I don't feel like I'm getting robbed like I do when I buy Welch Allyn products. The only drawback is the small aperture and field of view but this should be expected with a pocket sized scope.

Pocket ophthalmoscope! Fits in your white coat! Great price! Right? Nope. This thing doesn't do it's sole function: help you look at the optic disk. I tried for a while, and eventually gave up because it's not worth wasting my time trying to get it while in a patient room. If you want one, unfortunately get a larger one.

best of many worlds! if you buy a C battery handle oto/optho - you will not use it because you can't possibly carry it around in your pockets with everything else. an AA battery handle oto/optho is the way to go! but which one? there are so many! This one is GREAT, just used it for our ENT tutorials today and it works great - also it is a good price! yes - you can get some oto/opthos for less but those aren't ones that you can carry around so easily. And yes you can pay $700 for a fancy one - but whats the point if you aren't going to become an ENT!

Great product to have for a family physician or internal meicine physician which I am. The otoscope and ophthalmoscope offer good visuals and I just love the handles. I love the way the scopes look and feel as well. Another great thing about the set is that its very handy and portable. Fits nicely and snugly into my ward coat pocket so I can easily carry it around. All my colleagues at work love it and would like one just like it (have to keep close eye on it!!) I seriously recommend it as a good buy!! No regrets!!

It's not bad for the price. I originally purchased this set because I wanted something that used standard AA batteries; however this is not what is most frequently used in clinics/hospitals nor is it as high quality as other models. That being said, if you plan on going abroad or somewhere with questionable electricity or plan on treating them abusively (throwing them at the wall in a fit of Hulk-like rage or whatever), these are the top of my recommendation list. They come with some disposable ear pieces too so yay!
