Description
What this equipment is and what it's designed for.
Developing otoscopy diagnostic skills is a real challenge for students – OtoSim 2™ provides otoscopy training with verifiable learning. The tracked otoscope interacts with a library of normal ear anatomy as well as hundreds of pathologies.
When OtoSim 2™ is used, students can be trained in the diagnosis and treatment of ear pathologies. The software includes 380 high-resolution images from the Hawke library, which offers many opportunities to teach, practise and test otoscopy diagnostic skills.
The instructional content and features of OtoSim 2™ include:
- Use of the instrument
- Feature identification
- Pathology
- External auditory canal – acute otitis externa, cerumen, foreign bodies and more
- Middle ear – normal tympanic membrane, temporal bone fractures, acute otitis media, severe otitis media, tympanocentesis, myringotomy and more
- Self-examination and anatomical examination (advanced quizzes with random realistic clinical scenarios)
- Pneumatic otoscopy – simulated transparencies to improve the student’s pneumatic otoscopy skills (available with the purchase of PneumatoSim™ 1021952)
