Specula designed for expanding the ear canal. These instruments typically consist of a hollow, funnel-like device. Ear specula may be used directly to perform examination and manual procedures in the ear canal and middle ear or as part of an otoscope for examination or surgery. Both disposable (e.g., plastic) and reusable ear specula are available in different sizes and shapes; some include a lighting system.
