Ear Curettes

• Medical-Grade PP Plastic Construction:Made by injection molding from non-toxic, high-strength polypropylene (PP); the black finish reduces glare from transmitted light to enhance visual contrast.

• Multiple Size Options (2.5 mm & 4.25 mm): Available in 2.5 mm (for pediatric or narrow canals) and 4.25 mm (for adult use), allowing flexible selection to suit patients of different ages and anatomies .

• Universal Otoscope Compatibility: Fully compatible with all major otoscope brands via a quick-snap or screw-lock fitting, making installation and removal fast and secure .

• Tip-Grip Design for Secure Attachment and Ejection: Features a grooved or flanged rear interface that locks firmly onto the otoscope tip and allows rapid ejection, improving workflow efficiency and reducing cross-contamination risk .

• The ear speculum (sizes 2.5 mm & 4.25 mm) is primarily used in clinical and outpatient settings for visual inspection of the ear canal and tympanic membrane, and can be combined with cerumen and foreign-body removal, specimen collection, and other procedures. Its transparent polypropylene construction and universal snap-on interface allow for easy installation and clear visualization, and its single-use design effectively reduces cross -contamination risk.

• Uses and Typical Scenarios: Routine Ear Canal and Tympanic Membrane Examination: During otoscopic examination, the speculum is gently inserted into the ear canal and angled slightly toward the nose to visualize canal walls and the tympanic membrane, aiding in the diagnosis of otitis media, tympanic membrane perforations, and other pathologies.

• Facilitating Cerumen and Foreign Body Management: When removing impacted cerumen or small foreign bodies (e.g., insects, particulate matter), the speculum provides a clear view and guides forceps or irrigation tools, improving precision and safety.

• Supporting In-Ear Procedures and Specimen Collection: Prior to minor in-ear procedures—such as fungal culture sampling, tissue biopsy, or tympanocentesis—the speculum keeps the canal patent and clears debris, establishing a visual channel for accurate intervention and specimen collection.

Q1. Are these ear specula compatible with all otoscope models?

A: These ear specula are designed to be universal and are compatible with most standard otoscope models. Please ensure the speculum's fitting matches your device before use.

Q2. Why is it recommended to use disposable ear speculum?

A: Disposable ear specula help prevent cross-contamination, which is particularly important when examining multiple patients consecutively. They eliminate the need for cleaning or sterilization after use, saving time and reducing infection risks. Additionally, the polypropylene (PP) material ensures durability and patient comfort.
