Video-otoscope
A video-otoscope is used to diagnose and treat lesions in the external ear canal. Masses can be biopsied and often removed with this equipment. In addition, a special tip for the surgical laser can be used to obliterate certain masses. This equipment is also used to diagnose and treat disease around and involving the larynx, another difficult location in which to work. Alamo Feline Health Center obtained its video-otoscope in 2004.
The video-otoscope is used to visualize, biopsy, and treat lesions in the ear canals and other hard-to-reach places.
