  • Otoscope retrofit kit to allow multipurpose use
    Patent number: 5938590
    Abstract: A removable Tee piece to allow connecting to a vacuum source to pull a vacuum in the interior of an otoscope and to allow finger pressure control of the interior vacuum and a plastic foreign body remover extension of the speculum holder of the otoscope allows insertion of the otoscope for removal of foreign bodies from an ear or a nose by using the vacuum to pull and hold a foreign body against the extension as the otoscope is withdrawn. A speculum holder modified to prevent the speculum from making a seal with the outer ear and differing embodiments of the foreign body remover extension are shown. In all instances the retrofitted unit is prevented from making an outer ear seal. Removal of the Tee piece and extension of the speculum holder retrofit units allows the normal use of the otoscope for an ear inspection.
