The EARIGATOR^™ is an ear cleansing instrument that draws water from a reservoir through a handpiece and nozzle at a controlled temperature, pressure, and flow rate. In addition, a custom catch basin provides water overflow collection. The instrument has five main components: a control unit, a reservoir, a heater assembly, a handpiece assembly, and a water delivery system.

The EARIGATOR^™ offers safety, efficiency, and controls superior to products currently used to remove ear wax.

The EARIGATOR^™ features the following advantages over the syringe method:

1. Combines the functions of otoscope and irrigation into one.
2. Complete automatic control of water pressure at 12 +/- 2 PSI, which is safe for the eardrum.
3. Automatic shut off if water temperature varies by more than 2 degrees from the set temperature of 98 Degrees F (Body Temperature)
4. Equipment is readily available for immediate use without time-consuming preparation.
5. The procedure requires only one person in contrast to the syringe method which requires two persons.
6. The procedure can be completed in three to five minutes rather than the current method requiring at least 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Disposable tip eliminates the need for sterilization.
8. The EARIGATOR^™ is simple to use and fail-safe.
9. Only limited instruction of non-physician personnel is required.
