  • Insufflators designed to deliver a flow of air into the nose for treatment of Eustachian tube dysfunction. The insufflators typically work by simultaneous delivery of air flow to one nostril while the person compress the other nostril and swallows a liquid. The devices may consist of a rubber or polymeric elastic balloon (also known as a Politzer balloon) with a set of olive-shaped tips to deliver the pressurized air, and inflatable balloons that are attached to a dedicated mouth/nose hollow plug. The insufflators may also consist of more elaborate devices that provide mechanisms to control the air volume, pressure, and flow. Eustachian tube dysfunction insufflators are mainly intended for treatment of dysfunctions following airplane travel and otitis media.
