The handle type and material of an otoscope impact comfort, durability, and battery life. Handles may be made from lightweight plastic, durable metal, or a combination, and can use various battery types (such as “C” cell or rechargeable). Ergonomic designs reduce hand fatigue during extended use, while textured or rubberized grips can help prevent slipping. The Otoscope Ophthalmoscope Diagnostic Set, 2.5V uses a “C” cell battery handle with a rheostatic on/off switch, offering a balance of power and comfort. Having a choice of handle styles and materials means users can select the otoscope and ophthalmoscope that feels best in their hand and suits their workflow.
