US Patent:

20030187331, Oct 2, 2003
Filed:

Feb 20, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/371974
Inventors:

Jeremy Faludi - Stanford CA, US
Brian Rulifson - Stanford CA, US
Jody Cimbalo - Mountain View CA, US
International Classification:

A61B001/267
US Classification:

600/200000
Abstract:

An otoscope with a body designed for improved ergonomics and control, by eliminating the handle and having a shape which accommodates many different-sized hands, as well as letting the practitioner rest most of their hand on the patient's head while using the device. The body shape and color are also less intimidating than existing otoscopes, for a more child-friendly device. The otoscope uses light-emitting diodes for its illumination source. The light from these LED's can be directed into the ear canal either by means of a beam splitter, a prism ring, or a reflective-walled channel.
