Abstract: An otoscope provides a disposable speculum sleeve that conducts light to a narrow tip holding an electronic camera. By removing the light source from the tip, the diameter of the tip may be further reduced to allow the space of the ear canal to be shared between the otoscope and a tool such as a curette for removing foreign objects or to permit the tip to navigate around ear obstructions. The sleeve may provide for multidirectional illumination of the ear structure for improved visualization. The tip and sleeve may be flexible for increased patient comfort when using a compact tip design.

Abstract: An otoscope provides a circular display allowing a compact housing providing improved simultaneous viewing of the display and the patient's car for improved positioning and stabilization of the otoscope. A recorded image may be rotationally corrected, and non-image data displayed on the screen may be rotationally corrected with the use of an inclinometer.

Abstract: A disposable speculum for an otoscope provides a sheath adapted to cover an elongate otoscope probe and providing inwardly extending tabs that are adapted to flex outward when the speculum is inserted over the otoscope to engage corresponding grooves of the otoscope. The inwardly extending tabs provide precise alignment of the speculum with the elongate otoscope probe along an insertion axis to protect a length of the probe.

Abstract: A disposable speculum for an otoscope provides an attached forward-facing pressure sensitive adhesive for adhering to and extracting foreign bodies from the ear canal. Attaching the pressure sensitive adhesive to the speculum permits improved control, visualization, and reduced contamination of the pressure sensitive adhesive.

Abstract: An otoscope provides an extremely narrow tip holding an electronic camera sized to allow the space of the ear canal to be shared between the otoscope and a tool such as a curette for removing foreign objects. The tip may be flexible for increased patient comfort when using a compact tip design.
