An ear cleaning device is provided for removing debris from an ear. In one form, the ear cleaning device includes a shaft, a head connected to the shaft, and a contiguous pocket structure of the head. The contiguous pocket structure includes a plurality of pockets that may be configured to receive debris. In another form, the ear cleaning device has a handle, a bulbous cleaner connected to the handle, and a solid inner core of the bulbous cleaner. The bulbous cleaner has two or more spaced, longitudinal walls disposed outward of the inner core that are configured to remove debris with turning of the ear cleaning device about a longitudinal axis of the device.

A device for removing and preventing the buildup of cerumen in an ear canal is disclosed. The device includes a body with an elongated handle and a neck portion that extends from the handle to a paddle implement. The neck portion includes one or more crevices and the paddle implement includes a flattened body. The paddle implement is configured to radially deform as the device is rotated in the ear canal during use. The paddle implement is deformable from a radially expanded configuration before use to a radially contracted configuration after use in which the diameter of the paddle implement is smaller compared to the diameter of the paddle when in the radially expanded configuration.

A method is disclosed for clearing effusion from an ear. The method may include applying liquid to an ear canal, which is proximal to a perforated tympanic membrane, which is proximal to a middle ear containing effusion, applying an ear device to seal and pressurize the liquid inside the ear canal, the ear device regulating the amount of pressure inside the ear canal, and inducing a Eustachian tube, which is distal to the middle ear, to open, which causes the fluid to displace the effusion into the Eustachian tube.

The present invention is an ear cleaner designed to have limited insertion into the ear canal so as not to impact ear wax, also known as cerumen, or damage the ear drum. The ear cleaner has several possible embodiments. All of the embodiments are designed to be fit over the user's finger. The user's finger is the limiting factor in how far the ear cleaner is inserted. The ear cleaner has a limited surface area. The ear cleaner can have one or more features to entrap ear wax. The ear cleaner is made from a coarse fabric to entrap ear wax. The ear cleaner may be treated with antimicrobial agents, a lubricant, or both.

An inspection device with a display screen relates to the technical field of care tools. The inspection device comprises: a handle internally provided with a control circuit board; a display module assembled at one end of the handle, wherein a display screen electrically connected to the control circuit board is arranged on one side of the display module; and an image acquisition module assembled at one side of the display module far away from the display screen and electrically connected to the control circuit board; wherein the display module is configured to display an image acquired by the image acquisition module. The display module is rotatably assembled at one end of the handle; and a channel which is communicated with the handle and the display module and is configured for a flexible circuit board to pass through is formed in the rotating seat.

A device for removing mucus from a nostril or earwax from an ear canal is disclosed herein. The device includes a light assembly, the light assembly including a light emitting device, the light emitting device configured to emit light so as to illuminate at least a portion of a nostril or an ear canal; and an extraction portion configured to be coupled to the light assembly, the extraction portion including an extraction element and a stop located adjacent to the extraction element, the extraction element sized and configured to fit within the nostril or the ear canal for extracting mucus or earwax, and the stop sized to prevent insertion of the stop into the nostril or the ear canal and limit the depth that the extraction element is able to be inserted into the nostril or the ear canal.

A device operative having a rotating cleaning tip for cleaning a narrow channel, such as an ear canal. In one embodiment, the tip is coupled to a handle with a motor that rotates the tip. The rotating tip has a plurality of strips that bow outwardly, scraping debris from the walls without debris accumulating and impacting along a channel wall. The bowing strips provide entry slits to capture debris into the tip, the strips closing after capture, removing debris when the tip withdraws from the channel. The device has a safety ring disposed around the tip, the safety ring operative for limiting penetration into a narrow canal when cleaning.
