DERMAL AND THROAT ADAPTER

The adaptor has been uniquely designed to allow it to be used as either a dermal adaptor and/or a throat adaptor. It attaches to the hearScope in the same manner as the specula.

hearScope adapter can be used as a dermal adapter

USING THE ATTACHMENT FOR DERMAL IMAGES

The adapter is designed to be positioned with the edge of the adapter placed directly on the skin. It positions the camera the correct distance from the skin to simplify the zoom required to take images of moles and skin lesions effortlessly.

hearScope adapter can be used as a throat adapter

USING THE ATTACHMENT FOR THROAT INSPECTIONS

The same adapter is used to fit a tongue depressor. Insertion guides are available at the bottom of the adapter to simplify inserting the tongue depressor into the adapter. The length of the tongue depressor is flexible based on user preference. hearScope has LED lighting at the tip to assist with throat inspections.

ADVISORY PANEL
