4.25 mm Disposable Ear Specula for Welch Otoscopes - Bag of 100 psc compatible with all otoscopes of Welch-Allyn Universal Otoscope Speculums

Picked up for review for my GP partner who has both Welch-Allen and Keeler otoscopes at the practice.These fit the WA fine and stay on in use. Also found that they fits the Keeler Jazz pocket otoscope head with a bit of a push.At time of this review, these are only 15p each, which is fine and handy that they fit both the scopes in use.

Tried these with my otoscope. They fit perfectly on the end of the scope and stayed attached without any problems. They actually feel slightly better quality than original Welch Allyn pieces. At their current price of 15p each they are very expensive but they are better quality.

Okay.

Just be aware these are not compatible with the Scian brand otoscope.

Out of this pack three were not smooth and my patient felt that the otoscope scratched the inside of her ear. They rest worked perfectly fine apart from this small defect and I did find myself running my finger over them prior to use. Not really practical. They fit snugly and securely on the otoscope and performed as well as any branded product. Adults are more accommodating to slight discomfort so I fear a child would not let you go near them again if you had the misfortune to use a less than smooth end. Packaging was average meaning they could be susceptible to damage so I will think before using this particular brand again.
