ABSTRACT:
A substantially closed apparatus for deflecting and retaining waste fluids issuing from the ear canal of a patient being irrigated by a caregiver. The device is preferably transparent thereby allowing the caregiver to accurately manipulate the irrigator within the ear canal and to monitor the waste retainer to determine when the container must be emptied. The substantially closed configuration of the device prevents waste fluids issuing from the ear canal from contacting and contaminating the caregiver which could result in the transfer of infection and disease.
