The physical exam is key in every patient encounter
Your responsibility to physically assess a patient, will be a major characteristic differentiating yourself
from others in the healthcare field. In addition, insurance companies billed require appropriate
documentation of your clinical observations, and the medical necessity of the procedures performed.
Many clinicians believe over 80% of diagnoses come from
the history and physical assessment of the patientThere will be increasing pressure on physicians to pay close attention to the high cost of healthcare, and payers will insist on well-documented evidence that advanced care or testing is required. Although great advances have been made in medicine, approximately 80% of your diagnoses will still come from basic history and physical assessment.
So why invest with Welch Allyn? When purchasing your first diagnostic instruments, it's important to understand this is an investment for your future. The medical equipment presented here will be critical tools to your success when gaining physical diagnosis skills that are fundamental to clinical practice. Invest in Welch Allyn diagnostic equipment, and get a head start on the opportunities it will provide you to practice and perfect these skills on your peers, family members and friends.
From our beginnings in 1915 with the invention of the world's first hand-held direct illuminating ophthalmoscope to our latest innovations like the PanOptic™ Ophthalmoscope and the MacroView™ Otoscope, Welch Allyn has long been the leader in diagnostic instruments. Want proof? Ninety-five out of 100 physicians in the United States own Welch Allyn instruments—and count on them daily to help diagnose and treat patients.

3.5 V PanOptic™ OphthalmoscopeThe fundamental challenge in ophthalmoscopy is to get a good view of the fundus in order to make a sufficient assessment. Let the Welch Allyn PanOptic Ophthalmoscope help you meet this challenge.

What You See—Clinical Applications Direct viewing of the fundus through the PanOptic can reveal valuable clinical observations. Systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension leave footprints in the retina and aid the practitioner in the evaluation of these and many other diseases.
Innovative Axial PointSource™ Optics
c The practitioner is actually viewing the fundus through the mirror
that directs illumination into the eye, maximizing the alignment of the viewing axis with the illuminated areas.
How it worksa. Converges the illumination to a point at the patient's cornea, allowing
easy entry into small pupils
b. Then diverges the illumination pathway to the patient's retina,
illuminating a very wide area of the fundus
c. Simultaneously enables the practitioner to view the illuminated area
on virtually the same axis, creating the widest field of view attainable

Harvey™ Cardiology StethoscopesHarvey DLX and Elite stethoscopes were developed during a 30-year association with the preeminent Dr. W. Proctor Harvey, MD—the first and only "Master" of cardiology bestowed by the American College of Cardiology. He designed these stethoscopes to accentuate important high-frequency heart sounds like clicks, murmurs and ejection sounds.
