Huvitz Slit Lamp 5500 (Compact) LED 5X
Compact five-magnification Huvitz slit lamp with an ultra-high-end optic system, distributed by Norwood.
Overview
The 5500 is the compact model in the Huvitz slit lamp range that Norwood distributes. Huvitz describes the optic system as ultra-high-end, giving a wider angle, a live image, and increased accuracy, across five magnification steps. Compact here refers to the tower layout and the footprint, which is what makes it the choice for a lane that has to fit a chair, a stand, an instrument and a clinician without anyone turning sideways. If your room takes a full-size vertical tower comfortably, look at the 7000 instead; the optics conversation is similar and the decision is mostly about the room.

Who this is a good fit for
If none of these describe your practice, it is probably not the right choice, and we will tell you that.
Lanes where footprint is the binding constraint
Practices standardizing on the Huvitz optical platform
Rooms that also have to hold a stand, chart, and instrument table
What to ask on a demo
A demo is worth more when you arrive with your own cases and a list of questions. Here is what we would raise.
- Measure your lane before choosing between the compact and vertical bodies
- Compare the optics against the 7000 back to back if you can
- Ask about pairing it with Nighthawk imaging if documentation matters
- Confirm what Huvitz warranty applies and who administers it
