⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Amanda Reyes - ENT Specialist, City General Hospital
"These reusable ear specula have transformed our otoscopy workflow. The ribbed base design provides excellent grip—even with gloves on—and the conical tip delivers clear visualization of the eardrum without discomfort to patients. We’ve been using the Advanced Model for six months across adult and pediatric cases, and sterilization via autoclave has caused zero degradation. A durable, cost-efficient upgrade from disposables."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nurse Linda Park - Children’s Health Center
"As someone who performs dozens of pediatric otoscopies weekly, finding a speculum that’s both gentle and reliable is critical. The smallest size in the 5-size Advanced Model fits even toddlers perfectly. Parents appreciate that it's not cold or intimidating like metal versions. We’ve had no breakage after repeated cleaning, and the ISO 13485 certification gives us confidence in infection control."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Paramedic James Carter - Rural Health Response Team
"We needed something lightweight and dependable for field exams, especially during winter outbreaks of ear infections. These plastic specula are incredibly portable, and their durability surprised me—we’ve dropped them, cleaned them with wipes, and reused them over 30 times without issues. Only reason for four stars: wish the Pro Model was available in our region yet."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Neil Desai - Otolaryngology Department, MetroMed Surgical Center
"For high-volume surgical settings, the Pro Model’s 2,000-use rating is no exaggeration. After rigorous daily autoclaving and EtO cycles, the material shows minimal wear. The expanded size range means we no longer need multiple brands for neonates vs. adults. Plus, the tapered tip improves diagnostic accuracy during myringotomy prep. This is now our standard-issue speculum."Purchase Date: April 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Maria Gonzalez - Telehealth Nurse & Home Visits
"I use the disposable version under clinical protocols for home-based elderly patients. But I recently tried the reusable Base Model for personal kit use, and I’m impressed. It’s easy to sterilize between visits, and the four sizes cover nearly all my patients. Lightweight and fits perfectly in my travel case. Only downside: keeping track of sizes during fast-paced rounds."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 9 months

Dr. Elena Torres - Medical Device Advisor, Healthcare Innovation Group
"After evaluating over 20 otoscope accessory lines, I recommend this reusable speculum series for clinics aiming to balance sustainability and clinical performance. The ISO 13485 + autoclave compatibility sets a new benchmark for reusable plastic specula. The Pro Model, in particular, offers unmatched longevity for ENT departments facing supply chain pressures."
Rachel Kim, MPH - Hospital Sterilization Safety Officer
"In my role overseeing central sterile services, I prioritize devices that maintain integrity through repeated sterilization. These specula pass all visual and functional checks after 100+ autocycles. Their non-porous plastic resists biofilm formation, a major advantage over older models. For hospitals reducing single-use plastic waste, this is a smart, compliant choice."
