Welch Allyn 11820-CE Panoptic Head with Cobalt-Blue Filter and Corneal Viewing Lens

Welch Allyn 11820-CE Panoptic Head with Cobalt-Blue Filter and Corneal Viewing Lens

Welch Allyn introduces the PanOptic Ophthalmoscope, a revolutionary new concept for visualizing the fundus. Developed by Welch Allyn the originator of the world's first hand-held direct illuminating opthalmoscope, the PanOptic incorporates an innovative and patented new optical design called Axial PointSource Optics. This enabling technology makes it easier to enter small pupils and provides a dramatically wider, more panoramic view of the fundus that's 5X larger than ever before achieved with a standard opthalmoscope in an undilated eye.

Features:

• Patented new Axial PointSource Optics.
• Illumination system converges the light to a point at the cornea, allowing easy entry into small, undilated pupils.
• The illumination pathway then diverges to the retina, illuminating a very wide area of the fundus.
• Viewing system enables the operator to view the illuminated area on virtually the same axis, creating the widest field-of-view attainable.
• Provides a 5-times larger view of the fundus than ever before achieved with a standard ophthalmoscope in an undilated eye.
• Enables a 25-degree field-of-view vs. the standard 5-degree field-of-view.
• Increases magnification by 26% over a standard scope.
• Patented Glare Extinguishment System prevents interference from unwanted glare and reflections.
• New Halogen HPX lamp provides bright, white light.
• Greater working distance improves the comfort of both examiner and patient.
• Works with all existing Welch Allyn 3.5V power sources (battery handle or wall transformer), saving additional invesent.
• The patient eyecup establishes and maintains proper viewing distance, provides stabilization for the view, is a pivoting point for leverage in panning around the retina, occludes ambient light, and helps with orientation.
• The dynamic focusing wheel adjusts the focus in a continuous, smooth action for more precise control and the optimum view with a focusing range of -20 to +20 diopters.
• The aperture dial has micro, small, and large spot sizes, a slit aperture, red-free filter, and cobalt blue filter with add-on corneal magnifying lens (Model 11820 only).
• The ergonomic design of the built-in, soft grip handle provides maximum comfort, balance and access to controls
• Dimensions: 5.12"L x 1.40"W x 3.75"H without eyecup, Eyecup: 1.45"L
• Weight: .48 lbs. without eyecup, .50 lbs. with eyecup
