ABSTRACT:
A video otoscope enables a complete otological examination via high resolution color video to be conducted. The video otoscope includes an otoscope head having a rod lens system and structure enabling mounting a video camera on the otoscope head in position for receiving the rod lens image. The video otoscope also enables mounting a speculum in overlaying relation to the rod lens for retracting the wall of the ear canal, and the use of a pneumatic insufflator bulb in cooperation with both the rod lens and the speculum for demonstrating ear drum mobility. The video otoscope can furthermore include a high resolution color video monitor as well as a video recorder and a multiple or single image printer to enable recording the otological examination.
