Some manufacturers and distributors of diagnostic instruments would lead physicians to believe that each new electrical device requires its own specially designed voltage adapter or transformer. However, since most hand instruments operate on 1.5 to 12 volts and draw a current of from 0.2 to 2.5 amp., it seemed quite feasible to construct a single low-voltage supply that could serve all of the instruments the average practitioner might use in his office.
