| Detailed Specs | The manual bulb-type ear syringe is a non-powered aural irrigation device used for the safe and effective removal of impacted cerumen (earwax) from the external auditory canal through controlled warm-water or saline irrigation. The device consists of a large-capacity, compressible rubber or silicone bulb (typically 60–120 mL) connected to a smooth, flanged ear tip that is designed to seal loosely within the ear canal opening, directing the irrigating stream along the canal wall toward the tympanic membrane while allowing fluid and dislodged cerumen to flow back out around the tip. The flange limits insertion depth, providing an inherent safety feature that reduces the risk of direct tympanic membrane contact and associated injury. Prior to irrigation, the clinician examines the ear canal with an otoscope to rule out perforation, active infection, or foreign body presence. The syringe is disassembled, cleaned, and autoclaved or high-level disinfected between patients. It is widely used in general practice surgeries, ENT outpatient clinics, audiology departments, and home healthcare settings for routine cerumen management. |
