An earwax removal device may include a collector body in the shape of a helix. The collector body may have a lumen that accommodate a control line. The control line may have one end fixed to a distal tip of the helix, and a free end extending from an opening in the proximal end of the helix. The collector body may be removably mounted on the shaft of a handle assembly. The handle assembly may include an actuator mounted for pivot action on the shaft. The free end of the control line may be connectable to the actuator. The collector body and the handle assembly may be inserted into an ear speculum. The ear speculum may be screw coupled to the handle assembly to provide for controlled rotation and insertion of the collector body into an ear canal. The actuator may be pulled in a proximal direction to collapse the collector body and capture earwax that has been scraped from the ear canal.

Nasal and ear foreign body extracting device. The present disclosure includes disclosure of a device, comprising a bulb comprising a walled chamber portion having a nipple coupled thereto or formed as part thereof, a catheter configured to engage the nipple of the bulb at a first catheter end, and a balloon positioned at a second catheter end opposite the first catheter end, wherein when the bulb is compressed, air from within the bulb is pushed from the bulb, through the catheter, and into the balloon to inflate the balloon.

A method for cleaning an isthmus of a Eustachian tube (ET) of a patient includes using an instrument. The instrument includes a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a shaft extending therebetween, and a treatment feature disposed at the distal portion. The method includes directing the instrument into an oro-nasal cavity of the patient and advancing at least the distal portion of the instrument into an opening of the ET. The method further includes further advancing the instrument within the ET so that the treatment feature is disposed past, or is coincident with, the isthmus. The method further includes moving the treatment feature relative to the isthmus to clean the isthmus.

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.

An ear disimpactor for disimpacting material impacted in an ear canal and against a tympanic membrane, is disclosed. The impacted material comprises cerumen, insects, and other debris. The ear disimpactor comprises a housing, a warm water irrigation unit, and a suction unit. The housing comprises an ear speculum attached to an outer surface of the housing, a motorized auger comprising a drill bit extending from the motorized auger to a tip of the ear speculum, a warm water line extending from the tip of the ear speculum and across a length of the housing, and a suspension suction tube extending from the tip of the speculum and across the length of the housing. The warm water irrigation unit provides warm water to the ear canal through the warm water line and the suction unit sucks out suspension from the ear canal.

The present utility model discloses a camera assembly of a visual earpick, which comprises: a sleeve, a camera module and a light-emitting assembly, wherein a front end of the camera module is provided with a first convex step, and the light-emitting assembly is arranged on the first convex step; the camera module comprises a lens and a circuit board assembly, the circuit board assembly comprises a flexible circuit board, a fixed plate and a support plate, the fixed plate is arranged below the lens, one end of the support plate is vertically fixed below the fixed plate, a clamping groove is arranged at a lower part of an inner side of the sleeve, and the other end of the support plate is at least partially inserted into the clamping groove to limit and fix the circuit board assembly.

An implement for cleaning ears is shown and described. The implement may include an elongated handle and assembly designed to connect with the elongated handle that serves as a cleaning head. The assembly may have a plastic cone, rubber overmold designed to fit over the plastic cone, and sponge designed to fit over the rubber overmold. The plastic cone can attach to the elongated handle by way of a screw-on threaded connection, prongs that mate with slits on the plastic cone, or a combination of these. The implement may be part of a kit also including a container of containing oil foam having oil, soap, and water; a package containing a supply of liquid permeable pads impregnated with antibacterial liquid; and a spray container containing antibacterial liquid. Optionally, the kit also includes a container containing a supply of liquid permeable pads impregnated with an astringent agent.

A system and method to irrigate a user's auditory canal. A fluid can be dispensed from a reservoir through a fluid path and out through openings of a delivery element into the auditory canal. A pump may be used to facilitate the process of dispensing the fluid. The fluid can be delivered to the user's auditory canal for a predetermined period of time. Such a time period may be user selectable. The discharge from the irrigation is removed from the user's auditory canal via a discharge port located on the delivery element. The discharge exits the delivery element and proceeds to a discharge reservoir via a discharge path. A vacuum may be used to generate a negative pressure to facilitate the removal of the discharge from the auditory canal.

A cerumen removal apparatus for removing cerumen from an ear canal. The apparatus includes a body having a distal end and a proximal end interconnected by a main longitudinal axis; said distal end including a hollow collector head having at least one spiral vane or ridge projecting radially inward from an inner surface thereof and enclosing a lumen ending with an opening opened to said lumen for amassing said cerumen in said lumen via said opening; wherein said at least one spiral vane or ridge is adapted to guide the cerumen in a proximal direction into said hollow collector head when said hollow collector head rotates in the ear canal.
