Designed to enhance retetion and aeration. The tapered lumen assits the surgeon in cleanning if necessary.

Designed to help reduce the possibility of lumen clogging. Hourglass-shaped lumen widens on both sidesof the tympanic membrane to shorten the interflange dimension. This help to reduce the accumulation of residual draining, minimizing the potential for lumen clogging. "V"-shape facilitates insertion. Features Gyrus ENT´s exclussive MICROM^TM finish.

Notched medial flange allows smaller myringotomy as the tubed is screwed into the incision. Angled tab helps in easy insertion.

A "collar button" shaped ventilation tube for treatment of chronic, serious otitis media.

Unique thickets collar permits grasping from different angels while the tapered lumen resists clogging witn a minimal incision

Designed from long-term ventilation, the DuraVent^TM combines a tapered lumen for increased ventilation with thin tapered flanges providing reduced mass behind the tympanic membrane. The thin, collapsible flanges allow easier insertion and removal with no special instrumentation requirements.

Resists both extrusion and migration.

Combines the advantages of biocompatible titanium and "clog" resistant properties of fluoroplastic. The tube features a fluoroplastic lumen insert and medial flange resists clogging. Only titanium contacts the tympanic membrane. Ideal for long-term ventilation.

Highly biocompatible dense hydroxylapatite tube designed for subannular placement. Intended for use only when long-term ventilation is indicated.

Designed to be rotated after insertion to lock in place.

Two standard bobbin designed titanium tubes featuring Gyrus ENT´s exclusive MICRON^TM finish that provides the necessary ultra-smoothness without the glare or reflection of ordinary polished finishes. The smooth finish of the lumen surface reduces the potential for clogging and unwanted tissue ingrowth. Design and biocompatibility of this tube make it well-suited for long-term ventilation.

This bobbin-style ventilation tube features the innovate Hydromer^TM coating on the lumen and outer surfaces of each flange, providing a "slicker" surface than Teflon^TM (fluoroplastic) material. Only titanium contacts the tympanic membrane, making the tube well-suited for long-term ventilation.

This ventilation tube is charactized by reversible insertion feature. The tube is notched on both flanges, in a style similar to Paparella-type tubes, for atraumatic insertion. The small flange (1.78 mm) may be inserted in the tympanic membrane to encourage early extrusion. When longer term ventilation is desired, the larger flange (2.16 mm) may be inserted to help delay extrusion. Each "V" notch is positioned 180º from the other to help the surgeon conceptualize the location of the inserted flange and notch behind the tympanic membrane.

This tube has been designed for moderate to long-term ventilation using the rpoven "T" flange. The lateral aspect of one of the medial wings has been notched to cradle the long arm of the malleus, giving the tube added stability and retention. The tabbed lateral flange helps in insertion and easy removal. The choice of silicone or soft silicone Ultrasil^TM gives the surgeon more flexibility in choosing just the right tube for the millenium.

Notched inner flange for "twist-in" insertion. Very stable for long-term implantation.

Extra-large flange helps prevent extrusion, angled to align with ear canal for long-term ventilation. Large lumen for superior drainage.

This ventilation tube offers advantages during insertion and for postoperative inspection. Easily introduced with alligator forceps, the grommet will pass through a very small speculum. The enlogated flanges and length of the tube help to prevent premature extrasion. The 45º bevel on the flange approximates the angle of the tympanic membrane, allowing the physician to see stright through the lumen. Such problems as fluid reoccurrence and plugging of the lumenare easily recognized and corrected. The good visibility also makes postoperative evaluation of middle ear aeration much easier.

The Reuter Bobbin Tube features a wide flange to help resist extrusion. Large lumen diameters for long-term ventilation available in various sizes, styles and materials.

A simple short-term fluoroplastic "bobbin" tube for children. The larger flange 2.41 mm (0.095") diameter is inserted through an incision in the tympanic membrane.

Based on the T-Tube design, the Rube Tube has the unique advantage of a shorter flange width which allow easier insertion.

Designed for long-term ventilation. Can be trimmed to length.

"Shoehorn" flange enables smaller incision and easy insertion.

Unique design of the "folding" or collapsible flap allows easy insertion. Tube flap opens like an umbrella when placed through the incision. A simple pull on the removal tab inverts "umbrella" for easy removal.

Various styles, colors and sizes available. All are easily inserted with forceps or tube inserter through in drum.

This is popular bobbin-style ventilation tube with the addition of a insertion flange. The spoon-shaped flange, inserted through the incision first, eases introduction and positioning of the tube.

Small flange for easy insertion through small incision in the drum. May be cut to length.

"Shoehorn" flange permits easy insertion into a smaller incision. Integral tab for removal.

This modifies T-Tube is design for the surgeon who prefers a grommet-style flange on the lateral end. The grommet is notched in a "butterfly" shape for added visibility during insertion. The flexible medial flanges are easily inserted through a small incision and permit long-term ventilation. The lumen features an 11% larger I.D. than started T-Tube.

This modification of the Gyrus ENT T-Tube features shorter flanges to lessen the possibility of trauma of the tympanic membrane. Overall length is also reduced to eliminate need for trimming. The I.D. has been increased to facilitate ventilation with less clogging. O.D. is the same as the original design.

Richards T-Tubes offer the surgeon a long-term ventilation tube that is easily inserted through a smaller incision and is designed to remain fimly positioned in the tympanic membrane. Because the T-Tube is designed with a long shaft and flexible flanges, it is easily extracted. The T-Tube is made of blue silicone and is easily trimmed to adapt to the surgeon´s needs.
