Hotchkiss Otoscope
The Hotchkiss ™ operating otoscope, used around the world by
Otolaryngologist, Audiologist, Hyperbaric Medicine, Emergency Physicians,
Pediatricians and Family Practice Physicians for myrigotomy and tube insertion,
cerumen management and foreign body extraction.
Enjoy this YouTube Video, entitled "It's a Boy!", sent to us by a customer. It shows Dr. Pizarro doing a wonderful job removing cerumen using our Hotchkiss Otoscope and suction unit:
Because of the Coaxial Optical System:
With the exclusive concave mirror optical system in the Hotchkiss Otoscope,
light emanates from the speculum tip along the line of vision. The
illuminated area and the viewed area are the same. This coaxial optical
system eliminates parallax error and illuminates the operative area with a
clean, white light.
Because of Brighter Illumination with the Xenon Gas Lamp/Reflector: The unique new optical system found only in the Hotchkiss Otoscope triply condenses the light of the Xenon Lamp/Reflector, thus producing a brightness of illumination greater than that provided by conventional otoscopes. The state of the art Xenon lamp incorporates a polished reflector that gives up to 300% more forward lighting, without any increase in wattage. The result is a white light out put comparable to fiber optic halogen systems, without the diameter limitations or the delicate fiber optic cables to damage.
Coaxil Optical System with Triple
condensation of light:
1.The filament's light is condensed by the lamp's reflector. 2.
The concave mirror gathers the light rays and focuses them. 3. The
rays are further condensed by the magnification lens.
Because of Functional Design:
Revolutionary design permits effective one hand use. The Hotchkiss
Otoscope is designed to be held by the thumb and index finger of either hand,
enabling canal straightening by the middle finger of the same hand. This
frees the other hand for instrumentation, operational procedures, cerumen
management or holding the patient.
Because of Constant Magnification:
The Hotchkiss Otoscope is the only otoscope that permits unobstructed access for
simultaneous instrumentation and viewing under full magnification. The
strategic placement of the magnifying lens, allows instrument access without
sliding the lens out of the way. Thus affording a clear,
comprehensive view of the operative area and the instrument under full
magnification.
Instrumentation Through the Hotchkiss Otoscope:
Operational procedures using: 1) Suction 2) Micro Forcep 3) Curette
Because of Improved Specula:
Flanged specula improves comfort for patients, and makes it easier to achieve
the positive air seal needed for pneumoscopy. The specially designed
sloping sides permit easier access of instruments and reduces glare. The
physiological graduation of tip sizes is 60% larger than the preceding one,
giving a greater selection of tip sizes. Hotchkiss Specula range
from 2.5mm - 8mm. In many procedures including cerumen management larger
size tips are often necessary (8mm is 2 1/2 x as large as the standard 5mm).

The Optical Head: #HO-60762X
The heart of the Hotchkiss Otoscope, the light but durable optical
head, is made of cast aluminum overlaid with brushed chrome. The Hotchkiss
optical head is considered the best diagnostic and operative otoscope head
available. The lens is treated with an anti-reflection coating to reduce
glare and increase light transmittance. Coaxial optical system with xenon
gas lamp/reflector.
Autoclavable Specula: #HO-60782
Six sizes, ranging from 2.5mm to 8mm. Flanged tips assure
positive air seal and improve patient comfort. The Slope of the sides
permits easier access for instruments and helps to reduce glare. Glare is
further reduced by the dull black finish. Will withstand sterilization by
all conventional methods.
Pneumoscopy Bellows and Bulb: #HO-60785 or #HO-60786
The bellows made of durable resilient plastic or the bulb made of
flexible rubber are designed to allow rapid manipulation for better evaluation
of the tympanic membrane.
Around-The-Neck: #HO-60701X (Available only with the Complete Unit)
Regular alkaline (AA) batteries or nickel cadmium rechargeable
batteries fit in cells on either side of the collar, and the strong, pliable
cord gives you a reach of about 18". Swivel-type connection to the optical
head eases handling. The around-the-neck power source does not interfere
with stethoscope use, and keeps the otoscope optical head right at hand all the
time, fitting conveniently into the breast pocket when not in use. Ideal
for going from one exam room to the next. The unit may be autoclaved when
batteries are removed. Weighs only 3 ounces, including batteries.
Clip-On Power Source: #HO-60733
Designed for perfect balance and ease of handling, the clip-on power
source is our most popular. It allows your Hotchkiss to fit easily into
your pocket, stand on your instrument table or simply travel in your bag.
Constructed of high impact plastic, it uses either alkaline (AA) batteries or
nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries. The unit may be autoclaved
when batteries are removed. Weighs only 3 ounces, including batteries.
Transformer Power Source: #HO-60741
The ideal power source for the Hotchkiss Otoscope used at a single
location. Comes complete with two pronged coiled cord (extends to 12
feet). Plugs into any 110 volt outlet. For overseas use, 220 volt
transformer is available.
Xenon Lamp/Reflector: #HO-1273X or #HO-1276X
Designed exclusively for the Hotchkiss coaxial optical system, the
state of the art xenon gas lamp incorporates a polished reflector that gives up
to 300% more forward lighting, a white light increase of 600 to 700 degree
Kelvin with no appreciable discoloration. Available in a 3 pack or 6 pack.
Recharging Unit: #HO-60721
Eliminates the expense and inconvenience of battery replacement.
Comes equipped with nickel cadmium rechargeable batteries that can be recharged
over 1,000 times, approximately three years worth of recharging. The
recharger doubles as a transformer. A two pronged outlet on the recharger
permits the two-pronged cord (#HO-60742) to be used with the optical head, while
the portable battery power sources are recharging. Fits both the
Around-the-Neck Power Source (#HO-60732) or the Clip-On Power Source
(#HO-60733). Light indicates proper functioning. Operates on 110
volt AC. For overseas use, 230 volt recharging unit available.
Disposable Specula: #HO-60783 and #HO-60784
Sturdy plastic specula, available in two sizes: adult and pediatric.
Like the autoclavable specula, they are designed to permit easier access for
instrumentation. Dull black finish also helps to minimize glare.
Supplied in boxes of 300.
Corrective Lens: #HO-60771
Image getting fuzzy? Clear it up with a corrective lens . A
semi permanent attachment, this device permits physicians who wear reading
glasses or bifocals to put their prescription right into the the viewing port of
the Hotchkiss. Helpful for anyone who uses glasses for close work.
Available in refractions of +1, +2 and +3 diopters.
5X Magnification Unit: #HO-60761
Turn your Hotchkiss Otoscope into a hand held operating microscope!
Zoom in for a more detailed view of the tympanic membrane and ear canal, this
accessory provides a view five times normal size. Permits use of the
Hotchkiss Otoscope for some operative procedures that would otherwise require an
operative microscope. Upper lens screws in and out for focusing. May
be used with or without the corrective lens.
Personalize Your Hotchkiss: #HO-Engrave
Have your otoscope engraved with your name and title. Great when
giving as a gift. A nice touch to ensure that your Hotchkiss remains your
Hotchkiss!
