Ear irrigation is a cerumen removal method that uses water to flush ear wax out of the ear canal. It is an effective method for removing cerumen although inherent limitations of syringes, manual spray pumps, and smaller, portable irrigation systems to control for water temperature or flow have created some pause for providers to use irrigation (when indicated) for cerumen removal. This is where the Earigator can serve as both a solution and a nice addition to your clinical equipment arsenal to step up your cerumen management game.
The Earigator is a fully-automated cerumen management system that heats water to body temperature to avoid caloric or vertigo effects. It is capable of controlling irrigation flow and pressure. It is a totally self-contained system requiring no water connection. A magnifying lens with LEDs integrated in the hand-held trigger magnifies and illuminates the ear canal, making it easier to see where to properly aim the irrigation. The lens also has a splash guard, directing water into the catch basin. The system comes packaged with 25 disposable nozzles and one catch basin. Both may be reordered as needed.
As shown in the image below, the Earigator is available with or without the custom designed cart. Not sure which way to go? You are better off getting the Earigator with the customized cart upfront.
