HEINE Small Contact Plate for DELTAone Dermatoscope [Pack of 1]

The Small Contact Plate makes Diagnosis Easier as it can be used to diagnose lesions between fingers and toes.

The dermatoscope is considered to be the most important instrument in the dermatologist's auxiliary equipment toolkit. It has become a vital part of the process of reliable assessments of unpigmented and pigmented lesions, such as naevus cell naevi and melanomas in the context of skin cancer screening. But the dermatoscope is also an important instrument when it comes to detecting other lesions such as plantar warts, hypertrophic sebaceous glands or itch mite infestations. However, reaching prominent places with a dermatoscope is not always straight forward. Often, the clinician cannot get close enough with the dermatoscope in contact mode to sufficiently examine some areas of the skin like for example in interdigital areas, in the ear, in the corners of the eyes or the nasal wings.

In situations such as this it is advisable to use a smaller contact plate like the one available for the HEINE DELTAone or DELTA 30 dermatoscopes. The narrow optical attachment sits perfectly in concave-shaped body parts, therefore enabling dermatoscopy there too.

It is impractical in particular to examine lesions between the toes using a normal dermatoscope in contact mode. Pigmented lesions such as naevus cell naevi (which require clarification) are frequently found here too. A dermatoscope with a small contact plate is ideal for easily distinguishing Verrucae vulgares (plantar warts) which also develop on the sides of the toes from foreign bodies or calluses (corns).
