Find Best Price at Amazon"Unfortunately the LED is bright white (think daylight) and it's too overpowering that it makes the eardrum look pearly white and Ina ble to distinguish a normal TM vs an infected one. I think in my opinion the incandescent light is able to portray a better visual definition of human tissues than LED and that makes the WA is a far better otoscope in detecting changes in TM than the dr. Moms. Mom would switch out the bright white led to the soft white led (since most Christmas LED lights have soft whites) and have an option to dim the LED brightness which would make the light much less harsh as LED innately are very bright. While the WA is overpriced especially considering an otoscope is a light with a magnifying glass, if dr.mom could make these changes and even sell them for $60-70 it would be a good competitor to the WA."
"Not Welch Allyn by any means, but it is excellent for doing a quick assessment of my kids’ ears at home to determine if a Dr. Office visit is warranted."
"I bought this three years ago for my brother's family so they could learn to identify ear infections in my 18-month-old nephew, who wasn't speaking yet."
"I never used it but after I bought it, my friend who is a nurse practitioner said that she does not advise someone with no medical training to use this device, especially for young children."
"The light from the otoscope has a blue tint and the colors appear flatter (lower apparent CRI - Color Rendition Index) compared to the LED flashlight. Other reviewers noticed the same blue LED tint, for example the previous review here from Kenneth S. Raper, MD where he writes "Also the LED is blue-ish instead of white. Update: after I posted this review, the manufacturer posted messages trying to attack me on a personal level simply because I didn't like the blue LED. Many fraudsters will post hundreds of positive reviews, but the truth can be hidden in that one genuine negative review thread.""

Find Best Price at Amazon"The readings are accurate, the cuff is easy to put on your patient and the dial can be moved from the cuff to a table, etc. I am SO glad that I chose this BP cuff, as I think that it will last for several years."
"The only things I don't like about this kit is that you need to hold the Velcro strap in place while inflating it, and it doesn't include a stethoscope."
"What I look for is how smoothly the knob turns, particularly the initial turn to start releasing the air."
"There's a bar (or long metal ring) so you actually have to stick a person's arm through the sphygmomanometer and then wrap it. If you're not careful it can snag on a person's shirt or just get caught in itself and that just ruins everything."
"It is reasonably priced and works great."
"I personally would have liked the cuff better if it didn't have the metal ring on it."
"If you are looking for a cuff that works on thinner people, I would recomend MDF® Calibra Aneroid Sphygmomanometer - Lifetime Calibration Warranty - Blood Pressure Monitor with Adult Sized Cuff Included - Black (MDF808M-11)."
"I am a nursing student so I was only planning on using this for practice, yet I had barely used it (I used it once and it worked fine, the second time is when it started) before it started leaking air out of the top of the bulb."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I needed to check for blockage inside a pipe and I thought this would do the job. Unfortunately, the cable is just stiff enough to prevent the tip from following bends in the pipe, so I could not see anything past the bend, and I could not really manipulate it enough to get a view of the pipe. I would like to clarify that I needed to look inside a pipe with multiple sharp bends close to each other, which would be a challenge for any borescope."
"I have run this camera down a sink!!"
"So far, for the money this has been a great purchase."
"This USB Endoscope by Depstech has a lot of Pros, starting with it takes a decent quality photo (obviously not great for family photos but serves its purpose for what its intended use is). I am including some pictures I took when experimenting with it (in an aluminum can) and also a picture a friend took who borrowed it for a construction job (inside a wall)."
"Its ok, it works and makes a visible picture on a smartphone and or tablet, once youve entered devolper mode/enabled usb debugging/mtp mode... kind of a pain to use, wish it were plug n play..."
"You can easily stream the cameras point of view by downloading the app. By moving it and and down you can achieve the ability to brighten or lower the brightness. It's fairly easy to use, to connect it just get the USB and insert it into your device."
"The android app works as stated; you just have to make sure you use the USB-to-micro USB adapter that it came with otherwise the phone won't recognize the device. I was also able to look into my mouth with pretty good clarity, probably should have cleaned the camera a little better though after the sink :/. In all, if this product lasts a few years, I would say it's a pretty good buy!"
"The software works nicely on my Windows 10 PC though and I've used the camera several times to view locations around my house."

It also comes with a USB to micro USB to use the product wired with your computer, to view/ download pics or video to your computer or to charge it."
"I downloaded their app (there are plenty of other free endoscope app too that you can try)."
"I had no issues connecting to the unit, all though my Galaxy S6 wanted to connect to our stronger Wi-Fi router signal by default. Perhaps this is why others are having issues connecting to the Wi-Fi?"
"The device has a dial on the wireless receiver that allows you to control the LED lights at camera end."
"On one occasion the big battery was depleted after a month while unit was turned off and in storage so I am wondering how long the battery will last...works with a USB powerbank though."
"The Wi-Fi connection to the cell phone doesn't offer me any great benefit over a wired connection, but I got the impression that some of the end-adaptors, like the mirror, did not come with the wired models and, if purchased separately, would not fit."
"The unit gets a bit warm at both ends, especially the camera side when the light is on full power."
"It has an adjustable light and comes with attachments like a hook and mirror."

Best Medical Hammers
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I'm a medical student who is required to buy a reflex hammer for class."
"Love this hammer."
"This is a fantastic hammer with good weight and a great feel both for me and the patient."
"This reflex hammer is much better than some of the other "tomahawk" style hammers that many medical students use."
"Overall, a pretty decent hammer: has a nice weight to it which doesn't require much force at all to elicit reflexes."
"Pros: Great weight distribution and impact. Shiny metal looks professional and durable, doesn't look like the cheaper models. Sharp bottom is great for Babinski, soft brush is also included inside the handle. The rubber/plastic handle bends slightly, which absorbs some of the force. Cons: The handle is not "perfectly" straight, at least on the one I got."
"I have a bulging disc in my lower back and my physical medicine doctor uses the exact same one during my visits to test my reflexes."
"I will def recommend this model to all incoming residents in search of a good reflex hammer."
