Description

The ADC Proscope 2.5V Dermascope (#5312) includes a nylon zippered pouch that holds the instrument and a spare contact plate.

Warranty: 1 Year (Optics carry a lifetime warranty).

The ADC Proscope 2.5V Dermascope is used for pre-operative evaluation of cutaneous pigmented lesions with the aim of differentiating early melanoma, which requires excision from non-melanomatous pigmented lesions that may safely be left untreated. Use of the Dermascope three-color test could reduce excision of benign melanocytic naevi, and thus prevent both unnecessary minor surgical work and patient morbidity.

Does this dermascope feature 10X magnification?

Yes, the ADC Proscope 2.5V Dermascope is equipped with a powerful 10X optic system.

This high magnification, combined with the bright 2.5V Halogen illumination, ensures true tissue color fidelity and clear visualization. This optical system is essential for the pre-operative evaluation of cutaneous pigmented lesions, aiding in the accurate differentiation between melanoma and benign lesions.

Is the contact plate autoclavable for sterilization?

Yes, the ADC Proscope 2.5V Dermascope is designed with hygiene in mind. The instrument includes a removable contact plate that is autoclavable for sterilization maintenance, which is critical for clinical use. The package also conveniently includes a spare contact plate.

Does this dermascope include a precise reticle?

Yes, the ADC Proscope 2.5V Dermascope is equipped with a precise measurement system ideal for lesion assessment. It features a reticle contact plate that is etched directly onto the lens with millimeter markings, allowing clinicians to easily and accurately measure the size of suspicious lesions. This contact plate is also removable and auto-clavable for effective sterilization.

Does the dermascope use standard C cell batteries?

The ADC Proscope is powered by a battery handle that requires “C” cell batteries.

Key details regarding the power source and control:
