  • Prepackaged collections of the devices (either custom or standard) and supplies needed for the liquid cleansing of the external auditory canal and/or structures of the middle ear. Items in these kits usually include a needleless bulb or plunger syringe (typically 50/60 cc for adults and/or 20/30 cc for children), a container, a tip protector, a waterproof drape, and an alcohol pad; they may also include a catheter to facilitate the irrigation when using gravity force. The syringe used for irrigation in the kit may be also used for aspiration (i.e., removal) of the irrigating fluid and/or debris (e.g., ear wax). These kits may be supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Ear irrigation/lavage kits and trays are intended mainly for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic (e.g., extraction of excessive wax) procedures.
