The Bionix Safe Ear Curettes are simple safe and easy to use: Made of smooth, flexible polypropylene offered in various styles to meet different patient needs.  

How many products and companies have been started by someone mumbling to themselves, "wouldn't it be great if ......."

That's how the Bionix Safe Ear Curettes came into existence. When Dr. James Huttner was a pediatric resident, his only means of removing cerumen (ear wax) from the ears of children was a standard stainless steel curette, an instrument that often caused trauma and pain in his young patients.

One night he began to experiment. Out of a piece of metal tubing and a few loops of fishing line, Dr. Huttner created what was the prototype of the first Safe Ear Curette, the White FlexLoop®.

"Wouldn't it be great if there was an instrument that could remove wax effectively, but was more flexible and safer than metal curettes?", he thought as he worked. Yes, it would be great. Doctors, parents and especially little children all agree.

And today, after selling millions of Safe Ear Curettes since 1984, Bionix continues to improve and update their product to make it safer, easier and better.

Benefits For Your Patients:

• Made of smooth, flexible polypropylene - Not hard, rigid stainless steel. That means they're designed to flex and bend when they encounter an obstacle.
• Different models to meet specific needs - That means that you have the "right tools for the job" and your patients don't feel any unnecessary discomfort.
• Adult and Youth sizes - Hey, what do you know! Children's ears are smaller than adults. So we made youth curettes smaller than the adult ones. Here's one case where one size does not fit all.

Benefits For You (the caregiver):

• Single-use convenience - No sterilization costs and hassles.
• No risk of cross-contamination. Use them and toss them.
• Packaged for convenience - Color coded, 50 to a box, take them anywhere.
• Simpler than irrigation - But if you have to irrigate, we've got something for that too - Otoclear Safe Irrigation System.
• Color Coded - No guess work. When you need the purple one,
  you grab the purple one
