Welch Allyn 21504 Otoscope Insufflation Bulb/tip 

Description

This compact rubber bulb and tip serve as an insufflation accessory for otoscopes. Its distal tip connector is tailored to fit seamlessly with Welch Allyn MacroView Otoscopes, offering a secure and exact fit for efficient use.

The primary purpose of the insufflation bulb is to gently introduce air into the ear canal, enabling the healthcare provider to monitor the movement of the tympanic membrane (eardrum). This movement, or lack thereof, can offer crucial insights into the presence of fluid, infections, or other abnormalities within the middle ear.

• Enhanced Diagnostic Accuracy: By observing the movement of the tympanic membrane, healthcare providers can make more informed decisions regarding the presence of fluid or infections.
• Non-Invasive and Painless: The use of an insufflation bulb is non-invasive and painless, making it an ideal diagnostic tool for patients of all ages, including young children.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to more advanced diagnostic tools, the insufflation bulb is relatively inexpensive.
