The Vorotek O Scope head-mounted microscope: mobility, speed, convenience

The origins of the Vorotek O Scope head-mounted microscope are in Australia. ENT specialist John Vorrath developed it to complement the large, unwieldy and mostly single-site fixed microscope.

He found that for some patient groups (such as Australia’s indigenous people) he needed to be able to offer hospital care outside the hospital and developed a mobile version of the fixed microscope.

The Vorotek O Scope uses an ingenious mirror system to reduce the pupil distance or IPD to 12mm so that you can see with both eyes so binocularly to the back of a tunnel such as an ear or nose.

Unlike magnifying glasses, the O Scope allows you to see with both eyes to the back of the ear and nose:

The magnification is around 2x which is enough to do around 70% of an ENT doctor’s daily activities.Furthermore, instead of a focal point like with the fixed microscope , you have a focus area of 10 cm, useful for patients who move around a lot.

Working with the Vorotek O Scope is intuitive; you set it up and you’re good to go. Moreover, because of the large focus area, you always stay in focus. This makes working with the Vorotek O Scope much faster and easier than with the large fixed microscope.

You simply fold the binocular portion out of sight when not needed and then the O Scope functions as an excellent surgical headlamp.

The Vorotek O Scope: A unique opportunity to get the Physician Assistant more involved in ENT work

The ease of working with the Vorotek O Scope makes the barrier to having ENT physician assistants perform operations such as earwax removal much lower. While the investment is only a fraction of that of the fixed microscope.

We provide on-site training tailored to your needs , helping ENT assistants and Audiologist assistants perform more operations. This relieves the doctors’ capacity and further optimizes a department’s revenue stream.

Our training “Dry Ear Canal Cleaning for Physician Assistants” is developed and taught by ENT doctors and brings a lot of experience and skill. It instills confidence in the physician assistant to perform this act properly and soundly.

We provide the training both on the fixed microscope and on the mobile head worn Vorotek O Scope. In this regard, the Vorotek O Scope is clearly preferred by our students because it makes working with it intuitive, easy and fast and allows them to focus on the work instead of manipulating the microscope.

There is a choice of combination e-learning(accredited by KABIZ-DA with 35 points) plus practice(accredited by KABIZ-DA with 6.5 points) or practice only. We will discuss together what your wishes are and adjust the program accordingly.
