Patent number: 11432964Abstract: A device for removing earwax from an ear canal includes a shaft; and an earwax collector head at an end of the shaft. The collector head is in the form of a helical strip surrounding a substantially elongated space. The helical strip has a cross section such that an outward facing surface of the helical strip is substantially flat and an interior surface of the helical strip radially tapers to an inward facing edge. A distal end of the helical strip tapers to present a wedge.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: EARWAYS MEDICAL LTD.Inventors: Amir Kraitzer, Miri Fahn

Patent number: 11304850Abstract: Apparatus and method for treating or/and refreshing an ear canal of a subject, focused on cleaning the ear canal via removing cerumen therefrom. Apparatus includes a treating element formed as an elastic helically shaped coil strip, whose outer and inner surfaces may be coated (covered) by different possible combinations of outer layer, inner layer, and lubrication layer, coatings (coverings). The treating element outer and inner surfaces, as well as the outer layer, inner layer, or/and lubrication layer, are formed of, or/and include, materials exhibiting specific physicochemical properties and characteristics that facilitate particular friction and lubrication phenomena during implementation, which improve efficacy, safety, or/and tolerability of using the apparatus. Also disclosed is a method, including use of the apparatus, for treating or/and refreshing an ear canal of a subject.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: EARWAYS MEDICAL LTD.Inventor: Amir Kraitzer
