Video Otoscopy Helps Us Treat Chronic Ear Problems
A routine ear examination using a handheld otoscope could miss easily treatable problems. By using our in-clinic Video Otoscope, we are able to provide better and more accurate treatment.
What is an Otoscope?
 |
The handheld otoscope light is less bright than the video otoscope and magnifies only 2-4x. |
An instrument for examining the external canal and tympanic membrane of the ear. A typical handheld otoscope is pictured to the right.
What is the Video Otoscope and What Can You Do With It?
The video otoscope is powerful tool in aggressively treating chronic ear infections and other ear problems. It has a built in camera and a powerful, bright light. It connects to a video system that allows us to capture, view, and record images at a magnification of 15x.
 |
This not only means we can see better, brighter images at a much larger magnification, but when combined with an endoscope, we can treat problems that might lie even further in the ear.
We can even send tools through the video otoscope, including our state-of-the-art laser, to biopsy, remove and/or treat problems.
What Does This Mean For My Pets?
We can more accurately diagnose, treat, and perform procedures with minimal invasiveness to your pet.
Having the video otoscope has allowed us to more accurately diagnose and treat inner ear problems in our patients that might otherwise go undiagnosed.
