EAR CURRETTE

About EAR CURRETTE

An ear curette is a medical instrument used to clean and remove excess earwax (cerumen) from the ear canal. The instrument typically features a blunt-ended loop or scoop shape, designed to gently and safely remove earwax without damaging the ear canal skin or underlying tissues.

1. Disposable Ear Curettes: Non-sterile, single-use instruments made of flexible and smooth propylene material. They come in cupped and looped ends, offering surgeons more options.
2. Reusable Ear Curettes: Made of stainless steel or other durable materials, these instruments can be sterilized and used multiple times. Examples include the SURTEX Langenbeck Ear Curette with a blunt tip and solid handle.
3. Lighted Ear Curettes: Equipped with magnification and illumination, these instruments help healthcare providers visualize the ear canal and safely remove earwax. The Bionix Lighted Ear Curette is an example of this type.
