Ear loops are small, handheld surgical instruments designed for the precise removal of cerumen (earwax), foreign bodies, or debris from the ear canal. They typically feature a slender, elongated handle with a looped or curved tip, allowing gentle yet effective cleaning without damaging the sensitive structures of the ear. Ear loops are commonly used by otolaryngologists (ENT specialists) during ear examinations and procedures, providing a controlled approach to ear canal maintenance. These tools are available in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different patient anatomies.
