  • Patent number: 6432117
    Abstract: A probe element with helical grooves is dimensioned to be inserted into the ear canal and stop short of the ear drum, the element being made of soft compressed cotton. A bulbous flexible plastic handle has an interior rod and a clutch for releasably receiving the element. Depressing the handle at the rod location forming an ejection button displaces the rod and an interior-coupling member for ejecting the probe element. The rigid smooth handle is rotated a quarter turn to remove wax from the ear canal. The element extends from the handle a predetermined length to not engage the eardrum, the handle having a blunt tip acting as a stop for the element during insertion.
