The Sklar Richnau Holmgren Ear Speculum is a cone / funnel shaped otoscope that allows examination of the ear canal and eardrum. The speculum is inserted into the ear canal and the otoscope handle provides a light source and low-power magnification so the practitioner can view the eardrum. Disease and infections of the middle or inner ear can largely be detected by this examination. The instrument is chromium plated with 2mm x 3mm blades.
