Otoscope Oph Diagnostic Set - 36 Piece Medical and Nursing Student Otoscope/Opthalmoscope Diagnostic Kit - with Leather Case for Educational and Professional Settings (Regular)

Excellent kit! This diagnostic set has everything I need for practice and learning as a nursing student. The otoscope and ophthalmoscope work well with clear lenses and bright light, and the variety of specula and tools is very handy. The leather case keeps everything organized and professional-looking. Great value for the number of pieces included—perfect for students or professionals who want a reliable set without spending a fortune. Highly recommend!

I am an ER/ICU NP with years of experience looking at ENT, and am used to professional grade Welch-Allyn equipment. So I was skeptical of this $50 package. Happy to say that I am quite pleasantly surprised. It's 90-95% as good as the pros. The light is just slightly off center in the otoscope and ophthaloscope heads, but still totally functional. The heads are easy to change, but positively and firmly click into the battery base. The heft/weight is perfect. Not too light and bouncy, not too heavy to hold up for a while. The accessories are interesting. We'll see if they get used. The padded case is amazing. Prob should have bought this a few years ago.

Works decently enough to help me practice for OSCE and other procedures. The kit does not come with batteries. This is a barebones type of kit but it satisfies my professors so it does the job. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for a budget kit

I am a first-year PA student. I was given a list of supplies I needed for our different standardized patient encounters and I was stunned that we were expected to spend over $550 for a Welch Allyn set. I simply could not afford to pay that much, so I decided to go to my trusted Amazon to see if I could find a similar set. I stumbled upon this set, and at first, I was hesitant because of how inexpensive it was. I figured I could buy this set and worst case scenario I would return it for free and find another one. LET ME TELL YOU, THIS SET IS AMAZING!!!!! The clarity of the scope is great, it is super easy to use, and the light is super bright. My classmates that bought the Welch Allyn set were so jealous I bought this one because the quality of mine WAS SO MUCH BETTER!!!! I 100% recommend buying this set.

Yes they are inexpensive /cheap, but imo a waste of money. DO NOT RECOMMEND. True thoughts from an NP student : MD/DO/FNP/ACNP: Please move away and get the expensive / good ones! PMHNP / RN : Go get the $49 one (cheaper than this but same quality) since you may not use an otoscope/ophthalmoscope in the future. 1. CAUTION! this product is NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN. 2. OTOSCOPE: the focus distance of the magnifying lens is exactly the length of the entire tip ----- which does not make sense! I tried to look at my hand first, I could only get a clear picture when I press the tip against my palm. This made ear examination impossible ----- you will never get a clear picture of the tympanic membrane(TM) unless you physically touch the TM with your tip (but who does that?!!!). I tried all the tips provided in the kit, but none of them could provide a clear picture of the TM. The best picture I got was a blurry blurry blurry "cone of light" (almost could not tell). Also, the original tip was full of dust inside. The dust will reflect the LED light and you will see a "snowy dust" before you see anything in the ear. 3. OPTHALMOSCOPE: The LED light is not bright enough. I could barely see the red/orange hue when first shining the light into the eye (possibly due to insufficient lighting and cold LED light color). Also, the magnifying lens on the ophthalmoscope is not clear neither, there is NO WAY to do a fundoscopic exam because I could not see any details of the retina. 4. LIGHTING: horrible. A traditional scope's light is supposed to be bright, warm/orange color. This thing is a somber, cold hue, from one tiny LED light bulb. 5. BATTERY: uses 2 C-cell batteries. C-cell batteries are not convenient. Plus, if you decide to implement C-CELL X2 which provides more mAh, why do you still make the light so dark?????? It is not even close to a clinic/classroom otoscope and ophthalmoscope. I can't imagine myself being a provider one day and assessing my patient with this... Not recommended for students neither because you CANNOT VISUALIZE anything and you WILL NOT LEARN. If you are a student and need to record a video for your health assessment class and show your assessment skills using a opthalmoscope, you should be ok with this product. BUT!!! ---- there is a cheaper set at 49 dollars with fewer parts, same low quality, uses 2 AA batteries. Get the $49 one if you just need them for the class play. If I were to make a simile, I would say this product is more like a $15 stethoscope. Eventually you will need a $50-200 stethoscope on the floor to really hear and diagnose.

essential kit for Nursing school

First, I decided to write a review on this after needing to use this in a scenario where an accurate instrument would have been needed. My son had a pretty bad fever so I wanted to see if he was had an ear infection. I’m not sure if my light has gone bad or if my batteries are bad, but the light was so weak I couldn’t see down the entire ear canal to see his tympanic membrane. I wish I had pictures to compare what this light looks like compared to the Welch Allyn ones I use at clinic. It’s a habit I’ve gotten into that before I use an otoscope I shine it on my hand first and adjust the light level if needed (maybe it’s just me). It was pretty apparent once first turning this one after using the higher quality Welch Allyn otoscopes at clinic that shining this on my hand was very different compared to that. Also, I hadn’t used this for months and after using this only occasionally beforehand the batteries were dead once I got it out to use this. I had to replace the batteries to start with. In my opinion this is great if it’s purely to practice or starting off. Maybe good for occasional use. I wouldn’t say this is good for clinic use or use for patients if the purpose is from a provider stand point. This piece of equipment was required for my physician assistant program materials, and I decided to go cheap instead of getting something nice that was going to cost $300 - $600. This did the trick during school, but I will say my school had simulated patient rooms with Welch Allyn wall otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes. I used that most of the time. There is an obvious difference between the two, a pretty big difference I would say actually. Now in the clinical setting all of them I’ve been to so far have this same setup so I’ve never had to use this initial kit I bought to practice with. If I came across a time where a clinic didn’t have them provided or I was doing home visits, I think I would have to get something nicer. At least for me to feel comfortable with them being reliable, accurate, providing the best exam findings/patient care. Pros and Cons: Pros- - It’s inexpensive, so if that’s what you need, great. - Tons of people in my class have the same thing too, so it should be fine with school unless they’re specific about getting a nice one. - It does come with a lot of attachments and different things, so it’s great practice. - if you get good at using this one first, afterwards using Welch Allyn or other high quality ones, you’ll be a pro! I say that because the other high quality ones are sooo much easier to see exam findings with. I practiced with these and then used some high quality ones, it’s a pretty big difference. - It’s very portable and even comes with a case to store everything. - The kit has a pretty good start with equipment and covers. Cons: - There’s not really a light dimming quality, it’s either off or on (not super important but other ones do have this). - the light is very dim compared to others (meaning ones that cost 5x - 10x more though, so cost is a thing) - it doesn’t magnify exam findings very well. - the dials on the ophthalmoscope adjusting dials might just be for show, I don’t think they really make a difference. - some parts are pretty cheaply made, thin plastic and thin metal. - batteries might not last if stored with batteries in them (my mistake).

My son is just finishing med school and is really surprised how well it works and the different accessories that come with it. He has recommended it to some of his friends and colleagues. He can make a complete and advanced health assessment for his class as required. He says it is easy to use and assemble or disassemble.as needed. I must say I made an excellent purchase. Highly recommended. We are all very pleased.
