ABSTRACT:
The Humble Wax Remover.TM.--a safe ear wax extractor is composed of two parts; a safety stopper (10) and a loop curette wax extractor (26), whereby the second part is inserted into the first part thereby making a functional unit. The entire unit is then placed into the ear canal (FIG. 4). Once the unit is inserted into the canal, the handle (20) is rotated, wax is caught in the loop and then the unit is extracted from the canal. Wax is thereby safely extracted from the ear canal. Reinsertion is done until all wax is extracted. Readjustment of depth of insertion is accomplished by changing position of safety stopper with the loop curette wax extractor. Wax is thereby extracted without visualization of ear drums and thereby can be accomplished by lay persons.
