The Solo+ Tympanostomy Tube Device 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 patients 6 months and older.

The Solo+ Tympanostomy Tube Device (Solo+ TTD) is a single use, sterile, "all-in-one" surgical instrument that rapidly places a tympanostomy tube across the tympanic membrane of a patient. It combines the traditionally separate functions of creating a myringotomy, and positioning and placing a tympanostomy tube across the tympanic membrane. Placement of the tube provides ventilation to the middle ear space through the tympanic membrane. To use the device, the user creates a myringotomy with the device's myringotomy knife, which is located at its distal tip of the Cartridge. The user advances the device until the tympanostomy tube outer flange reaches the tympanic membrane. The user then actuates the device by pressing the activation (blue) button on the Handpiece. This retracts the myringotomy knife construct and deploys the tube across the tympanic membrane.

The Solo+ Tympanostomy Tube Device is intended to deliver a tympanostomy tube through the tympanic membrane (TM) of the patient. It combines the separate functions of creating a myringotomy, and positioning and placing a ventilation tube across the TM. The Solo+ Tympanostomy Tube Device 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 6-24 months old.

The Biowy Tym Tube products are indicated for where chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction does not respond to conventional therapy.

The tympanostomy tube is a silicone tube that is intended to provide ventilation and drainage to the middle ear.

- 1 ) Chronic otitis media with effusion characterize as either serous, mucoid, or purulent. - 2) Recurrent acute otitis media which fails to respond satisfactorily to alternative therapies. - 3) A patient with a history of persistent high negative middle ear pressure which may be associated with conductive hearing loss that is symptomatic, persistent or recurrent otalgia, persistent or recurrent vertigo and/or timitus. - 4) Atelectasis recurrent form retraction pocket of the tympanic membrane or eustachian tube dysfunction.

The Grace Medical, Inc. ETFE (Fluoroplastic) Ventilation Tubes are intended to ventilate the middle ear subsequent to otitis media. The placement of the tympanic membrane provides the means for any fluid buildup in the middle ear while creating an avenue of the passage of air to equalize pressure on either side of the drum. These ventilation tubes will be made from ETFE (fluoroplastic). ETFE has been used as a material for ventilation tubes and other middle ear application for many years.

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.

The Tula Tube Delivery System is intended to provide a means to create a myringotomy with insertion of a preloaded Grommet type tympanostomy tube.

The Tula Tube Delivery System (TDS) is a device that penetrates the tympanic membrane and inserts the Grommet type tympanostomy tube with a button controlled activation. It is intended to provide a means to create a myringotomy with insertion of a preloaded grommet type tympanostomy tube.

Indicated where chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction does not respond to conventional therapy.

The tympanostomy tube is a silicone tube that is intended to provide ventilation and drainage to the middle ear.

When inserted through a myringotomy, a ventilation tube provides a passageway for movement of air between the auditory canal and the middle ear. The unobstructed passageway may also allow a means of drainage of fluids resulting from acute or chronic otitis media from the middle ear into the auditory canal. In addition, surgical placement of ventilation tubes also provides a means of equalizing air pressures between the outer ear and the middle ear and continued ventilation to prevent fluid accumulation within the middle ear. The surgeon must use medical judgment and consider the patient's medical history prior to a decision to surgically insert a ventilation tube. Pathologic conditions for which ventilation tubes are indicated include but not limited to: - Chronic otitis media with effusion characterized as serous, mucoid, or purulent - Recurrent acute otitis media which fails to respond satisfactorily to alternative therapies - A patient with a history of persistent high negative middle ear pressure which may be associated with conductive hearing loss, otalgia, vertigo and/or tinnitus - Atelectasis resulting from retraction pocket of the tympanic membrane or eustachian tube dysfunction

Medtronic® Xomed® Ventilation (tympanostomy) Tubes are small tubular implants available in a variety of biocompatible materials including silicone elastomer, fluoroplastic. C-FLEX® TPE. stainless steel and titanium. Numerous designs and sizes are available with single or multiple flanges to satisfy various surgical techniques for insertion and to facilitate short or long-term communication of the auditory canal with the middle ear. Some tubes are fitted with semi-permeable membranes intended to allow free passage of air while preventing movement of fluids into the middle ear.

The Hummingbird™ Tympanostomy Tube System is intended to deliver a tympanostomy tube in tympanostomy procedures in which the patient is receiving a tympanostomy tube.

The Hummingbird™ Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS) which includes a tympanostomy tube inserter (TTI) with 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 TTS includes a handle with one or more tip assemblies which contain a sterile tympanostomy tube. Each tip assembly can be removably attached to the handle and includes a positioning rod and a ventilation tube pre-loaded inside the distal end of a sharpened sheath. Attaching the tip assembly to the handle also connects the sheath and actuator, allowing the user to retract the sheath by manually scrolling an actuator located on the handle. The user 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. A first tip assembly can then be removed from the handle and replaced with a second preloaded tip assembly for bilateral
