Welch Allyn 97-MDS-CMN Standard Diagnostic Set with Coaxial Ophthalmoscope, MacroView Otoscope and Nickel Cadmium Rechargeable Handle

Professional grade otoscope, which exactly replaced the one I dropped and spectacularly broke! Works well, and meets my needs as an ER Provider

Worth it if you need to have one in your pocket at all times. Super durable. Batteries last even though they are cadmium nickel, but the replacement batteries from Welch Allyn can be expensive. Easy to use. Has all the necessary functionality. Gold standard in my book.

First of all, the item came in a random box that had been taped shut- which leads me to believe this item is being marketed as new when it is in fact used. The Welch-Allyn carrying case is damaged inside with broken plastic pieces. The rechargeable handle is missing the plastic insulator cap so I can’t even charge it. The handle was also just inside the case with no packaging unlike the other pieces. All in all a lot of money for probably used and damaged items! Very disappointed.

Works well, the head is cross compatible with the wall mounted ones. Can use various batteries. 09/30/24: Update, still going strong. Works well for medical school and field use. I would recommend going with this if you are on a HPSP contract. Rechargeable battery works well for school use and the disposable works well for the field as the exchange has extra batteries. I wish the carrying case had some better space efficiency and was either a bit smaller or if it had a space for extra ear tips without creating extra bulk. Ideally if I was on a fixed budget with only 3 "premium items" I would go with this set again with a nicer stethoscope and my Butterfly US probe.

High quality scope. Works as it should.

Exactly as described. Need to premed class.

Scopes arrived in the traditional high quality expected by Welch Allyn. As a new NP (and an old nurse) I am super excited to finally own this set. I a saddened by the condition of the case. it looks as if it had been crushed at some point.

I bought the Welch-Allyn standard Otoscope/ ophthalmoscope set with the coaxial head to become proficient at ear and eye exams before clinical starts. This set works so much better than I would have thought based on other reviews. It came packaged as it should with no complaints in regards to shipping or use. I visualized the tympanic membrane with ease and was able adequately see the structures of the retina with little to no practice. I decided to go with the standard set based on recommendations from various blogs to force myself to familiarize myself with the coaxial Ophthalmoscope as this is the most common type in clinics and hospitals. Later, I may purchase the panoptic head but I am very pleased with the set I purchased.
