INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERUMEN REMOVAL

Position the patient comfortably on the examination table. Smaller children
may be restrained on their parent’s lap or shoulder during the procedure.

Using an otoscope, examine the ear canal and tympanic membrane, noting
the presence and location of any cerumen in the ear canal.

Select an ear curette of the appropriate size for the patient:

White FlexLoop®* for children and adults, general purpose;
Blue InfantScoop®* for smaller infants and children;
Green MicroLoop® for the harder cerumen of older children and adults; Yellow
CeraSpoon®* for fast removal of extensive cerumen
Red AngleLoop®* for hard to reach cerumen;
Purple VersaLoop®* for gentle precision; and the
Orange ControLoop®* for precise control and direction during curettage.

Straighten the ear canal by gently pulling the ear up and away from the
patient. Gently use the curette to loosen and draw cerumen from the ear
canal. Use an otoscope to frequently re-examine the ear canal during the pro­cedure as cerumen may shift position or move during curettage.

Note the presence and location of the remaining cerumen,
if any. Repeat the curettage procedure until sufficient cerumen
is removed to allow adequate examination of the tympanic
membrane.

CAUTION: Discontinue curettage immediately if bleeding, irritation,
or other trauma to the ear canal or tympanic membrane occurs.
