Erhardt Ear Speculum 5.5mm Fig.2

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic access and direct visualization of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane during diagnostic otoscopy and minor aural procedures. The 5.5 mm tip diameter is intended for use where a standard mid‑sized speculum is required for clear visualization, microsuction, irrigation, cerumen removal, or foreign body extraction under direct examination or microscopy.

Design & Configuration

The conical, funnel-shaped tip directs the clinician’s line of sight and the working channel toward the tympanic membrane while minimizing canal wall contact. A smooth flared rim reduces soft tissue trauma at the canal entrance and helps stabilize the instrument during manipulation. The Fig.2 pattern denotes a specific Erhardt geometry optimized for unobstructed visualization and instrument access through a mid‑size aperture.
