Description
Gehörgangreiniger üblicher Ausführungen verwenden entweder auf Stäbchen festsitzende Wattebäuschchen oder entsprechend geformte und mit einem starren Griff versehene Drahtösen oder -Bügel, bzw. Spatel aus festen Materialien. Sie werden in den Gehörgang eingeführt, um dort durch Schabebewegungen an den Gehörgangwänden den angesammelten Ohrenschmalz zu entfernen. Nachteile sind:Common ear canal cleaners use either cotton balls attached to sticks or appropriately shaped wire loops or brackets with a rigid handle, or spatulas made of solid materials. They are inserted into the ear canal to remove the accumulated earwax by scraping the ear canal walls. Disadvantages are:
- Mit den Wattebäuschchen wird tiefer liegender Ohrenschmalz noch weiter hineingeschoben. - The cotton balls are used to push deeper earwax further in.
- Unzureichender Reinigungserfolg, weil nur ein geringerer Teil der gesamten
Innenwand des Gehörganges bestrichen wird.- Insufficient cleaning success because only a small part of the total
The inner wall of the ear canal is coated.
- Reizung der empfindlichen Innenwand des Gehörganges durch mehrfache Abstriche mit den harten Ösen, Bügeln oder Spateln. Dies kann leicht zur Entzündung des Innenohres führen- Irritation of the sensitive inner wall of the ear canal due to repeated swabs with the hard eyelets, brackets or spatulas. This can easily lead to inflammation of the inner ear
- Erforderliche sehr große Achtsamkeit bei der Handhabung. Ungeschickte oder von außen verursachte unerwartete Bewegungen der führenden Hand können schmerzhafte und manchmal folgenreiche Verletzungen des Ohres - bis hin zum Durchstoßen des Trommelfells - verursachen..- Extreme care is required when handling the device. Clumsy or unexpected movements of the leading hand caused by external factors can cause painful and sometimes serious injuries to the ear - even puncturing the eardrum.
Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 4 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, die Reinigung des Gehörganges ohne die genannten Nachteile, unter größter gesundheitlicher Schonung, mit maximaler Effizienz und zuverlässiger Sicherheit durchzuführen.The invention specified in claims 1 to 4 is based on the problem of cleaning the ear canal without the disadvantages mentioned, with the greatest possible protection for health, with maximum efficiency and reliable safety.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in the claims.
Mit der Erfindung wird erreicht, dass der Reinigungsvorgang bedeutend entspannter, gründlicher und sicherer als bisher durchgeführt werden kann. Die Weichheit und hohe Elastizität des Materials sowie die Formgebung sorgen für eine gute Anpassung an den etwas ungleichmäßigen Verlauf des Gehörganges beim Einführen des Reinigers. Die Schneckenform, deren Durchmesser den Querschnitt des Gehörganges ausfüllen kann, erlaubt durch das drehende Einfuhren des Reinigers ein kontrolliertes Vordringen und vermeidet gleichzeitig ein tieferes Hineinschieben des vorhandenen Ohrenschmalzes. Die Eindringtiefe kann durch beliebig viele lose aufgesetzte, geschlitzte, weiche Stopscheiben individuell eingestellt und so ein Kontakt mit dem Trommelfell sicher vermieden werden. Weiteres Drehen des, nach Anliegen der Stopscheibe, in Längsrichtung ruhenden Reinigers setzt den Transporteffekt der Schneckenwindungen in Gang. Damit wird der tief innen befindliche Ohrenschmalz zunächst schonend und gründlich aus diesem kritischen Bereich geschoben und kann durch Herausziehen des Reinigers vollends entfernt werden.The invention means that the cleaning process can be carried out in a much more relaxed, thorough and safer way than before. The softness and high elasticity of the material as well as the shape ensure good adaptation to the somewhat uneven course of the ear canal when inserting the cleaner. The snail shape, the diameter of which can fill the cross-section of the ear canal, allows controlled penetration by rotating the cleaner and at the same time prevents the existing ear wax from being pushed in deeper. The depth of penetration can be individually adjusted using any number of loosely attached, slotted, soft stop discs, thus safely preventing contact with the eardrum. Further rotation of the cleaner, which is at rest in the longitudinal direction after the stop disc has been put in place, sets the transport effect of the snail coils in motion. This first gently and thoroughly pushes the ear wax deep inside out of this critical area and can be completely removed by pulling out the cleaner.
