ENT examination instruments otoscope nasal speculum Jobson Horne probe Tilley forceps uses
| No. | Instrument | Two uses |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Otoscope | 1. Examination of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane. 2. Detect cerumen, foreign body, otitis externa, or otitis media. |
| 2 | Nasal speculum blade | 1. Anterior rhinoscopy, to inspect nasal septum and anterior nasal cavity. 2. Helps expose the nostril for cautery, packing, or removal of a foreign body. |
| 3 | Lack tongue depressor | 1. Depresses the tongue to examine the oral cavity, tonsils, and oropharynx. 2. Helps assess pharyngeal movements and elicit the gag reflex. |
| 4 | Direct ophthalmoscope | 1. Examination of the optic disc, retinal vessels, and retina. 2. Assessment of red reflex and detection of media opacity such as cataract. |
| 5 | Jobson-Horne probe with ring curette | 1. Removal of cerumen or debris from the external auditory canal. 2. Dry mopping ear discharge or applying medication to the ear canal. |
| 6 | Thudichum nasal speculum | 1. Examination of the anterior nasal cavity and septum. 2. Assists procedures such as anterior nasal packing, cauterization, and removal of nasal foreign bodies. |
| 7 | Tilley nasal dressing forceps | 1. Insertion and removal of anterior nasal packs/dressings. 2. Removal of foreign bodies, crusts, or clots from the anterior nose. |
| 8 | +20 D condensing lens | 1. Used with binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy to view the fundus. 2. Examination of the peripheral retina for tears, detachment, or degeneration. |
| 9 | +40 D condensing lens | 1. Fundus examination, especially in children or through a small pupil. 2. Provides a wide retinal view for assessing optic disc and retinal pathology. |
| 10 | 256 Hz tuning fork | 1. Hearing assessment using Rinne and Weber tests. 2. Assessment of vibration sensation in neurological examination. |
| 11 | 512 Hz tuning fork | 1. Rinne test to compare air conduction with bone conduction. 2. Weber test to identify lateralization in conductive or sensorineural hearing loss. |
| 12 | Laryngeal mirror | 1. Indirect laryngoscopy to inspect the larynx and vocal cords. 2. Assessment of vocal cord mobility and laryngeal lesions. |
| 13 | Postnasal mirror / posterior rhinoscopy mirror | 1. Examination of the nasopharynx and posterior nasal cavity. 2. Inspection of choanae, posterior ends of turbinates, adenoids, or postnasal mass/discharge. |
The listed ENT instruments and their standard examination roles align with Scott-Brown clinical examination and the ENT equipment overview.
