The Hummingbird® Tympanostomy Tube System (HTTS) is intended to deliver a tympanostomy tube (also referred to as a ventilation tube) through the tympanic membrane of the patient and is indicated to be used in office settings for pediatric patients 6 months and older.

The Hummingbird® Tympanostomy Tube System (HTTS), which includes a preloaded ventilation tube, is a single-use, sterile manual surgical instrument which is used to create a myringotomy in the tympanic membrane and place a ventilation tube. The surgeon manually advances the sharpened sheath to create a myringotomy and simultaneously positions the ventilation tube within the myringotomy, always under direct visualization. The user then manually retracts the sharpened sheath away from the myringotomy using the manual actuator located on the handle. The retraction of the sheath releases the tube within the myringotomy.
