PanOptic or a Standard Set?
A PanOptic Plus or PanOptic Basic gives a much wider view of the fundus through an undilated pupil, which is why many primary care practices use one. A standard ophthalmoscope, as in the 3.5V diagnostic set, is smaller and comes paired with an otoscope in one case.
Which Otoscope Head?
Choose by the exam. A pneumatic head lets you check eardrum movement. An operating head has an open view so instruments pass through for cerumen removal. For home visits, the PocketScope fits in a coat pocket.
Will these heads fit the handle I already have?
The operating and pneumatic heads here are 3.5V and fit Welch Allyn 3.5V handles. They do not fit 2.5V handles such as the one in the PocketScope 2.5V set. Check the voltage on your handle before ordering.
Do you carry a budget diagnostic set?
The Graham-Field 1227-3 is a rechargeable otoscope and ophthalmoscope set at a lower price point than Welch Allyn sets, suitable for training programs and secondary rooms.
