Comparative Weights of Surgical Telescopes
Note: All products which are listed below have been
evaluated by STEP. Although
weight distribution and resultant forces exerted on the wearer's nose may vary depending
upon facial anatomy of the user and upon the manner in which the telescopes are used.
Usually the weight on the nose pads is increased when flip-up scopes are in their
raised positions.
