11720 Coaxial Ophthalmoscope: Optimised vision for healthcare professionals
The Welch Allyn 11720 is a 3.5 V coaxial ophthalmoscope designed to provide a superior diagnostic experience. Thanks to its patented coaxial optical system, this device allows for easier entry into the eye, even when the pupil is not dilated. This system produces a shadowless spot, reducing glare and improving image clarity. It also offers a wider field of view than standard ophthalmoscopes, making it easier to examine the fundus and detect eye conditions.
Lighting technology and specialised filters
The 11720 ophthalmoscope is equipped with a 3.5 V HPX™ halogen lamp, which provides 30% whiter and brighter light than conventional lamps. This light allows for accurate colour reproduction of tissues, which is essential for accurate diagnosis. The device also incorporates several specialised filters, including a cross-polarising filter that virtually eliminates corneal reflections, a cobalt blue filter for detecting corneal abrasions with fluorescein dye, and a red-free filter that facilitates the identification of veins, arteries and nerve fibres.
Versatility and precision thanks to a wide range of lenses and apertures
The 11720 offers 28 focus lenses covering a range from -25 to +40 dioptres, allowing precise adaptation to every clinical situation. It has 18 unique combinations of apertures and filters, offering great flexibility of use. Available apertures include:
- Micro-spot for very small pupils
- Small aperture for non-dilated pupils
- Large aperture for general examinations
- Slit for assessing the depth of lesions
- Fixation aperture with graduated reticle These options allow for optimal customisation of the examination according to the needs of the practitioner and patient.
The Welch Allyn 11720 Coaxial Ophthalmoscope is a high-end ophthalmic diagnostic instrument designed to provide optimal visualisation of the fundus. Thanks to its patented coaxial optical system, it allows for easy entry into the eye while reducing glare and widening the field of view. Its compact design, extended lenses and numerous aperture combinations make it a versatile and reliable tool for healthcare professionals.
