hey Matt heads I want to give you guys a
little bit of background on the
equipment that we're using this welch
allyn irrigator now i have not been paid
any money or consideration by welch
allyn about this when a local ear nose
and throat doctor was closing up shop
and he happened to have this wasn't
using anymore so I grabbed it at a steel
so the welch allyn irrigation system is
a system allows you to use water from a
faucet in the sink in your exam room
actually hooks on with this adapter you
have to screw into the faucet and it
produces a flow of water at a consistent
temperature you adjust your warm and
cold water and when they reach the right
temperature this little indicator here
will turn white instead of blue and when
it does it allows the water to flow so
what I love about this is that if the
water's too hot the water won't flow the
waters too cold it won't flow so your
patient is protected also it limits how
high the pressure can get so you're not
afraid that you're going to accidentally
rupture someone's eardrum with the
pressure from this device has a trigger
for pulling when you're ready to use it
has disposable eartips so they're not
using the same piece from patient to
patient and inside you can see how
there's a tiny tiny little jet that
comes through for the the pressurized
water and then the suction created by
the water flowing through the pod
section created pulls the water back out
of the ear we put on this 1i guys
Lincoln on but pulls up the pressure
back out through the other hose which
plugs into the pod and then it just
washes out here on the bottom down the
sink so you get a continuous-flow
there's not a lot of mess only mess you
get it Yello drip from this when you
pull it out the patients here but if you
stop pulling the trigger before you pull
it out that year there's not gonna be a
lot of mess from that so I've been
pleased with it
the only complaint I have is it takes
awhile to drain all the water out of all
this tubing you can see there's still
some water from weeks ago when we use
just the device because it's you know
you can run some alcohol through it to
dry it we've done that before to do a
little more quickly
hey meds thanks for joining us we've got
Ralph here and he's gonna need to have
his ears clean we looked at him was
yesterday yesterday and we saw their
blocked and now we have the room with
the irrigation device so we'll get those
cleared out anything you want to say to
the audience before we get started but
it's not that
so this is your right ear that were
delving into right now and what we see
is a little bit of wax on the outside
and a lot of wax deepen let's get this
going with the right temperature
we'll start
so it's going now how's that feel well
okay just stop
that's how we gotta drop yeah it does
look a lot better
yeah and i am seeing the eardrum huh
way way way in there they're still wax
in front of it
yeah but I can understand that you feel
like it's cleared up like you can't
allow that you can hear that the finger
up look on the other side to this is
your left ear and we're looking way in
there and see and it's just packed the
stick q-tips in your ear or anything
like that the other day he did
my hurting at all a little bit
so even that earns yeah that's just
simply yeah put my curette right in the
external auditory meatus opening yeah
that's very sense yeah okay we're not
going to do anymore with this let's get
on with that take a look with this once
you get past the waxy the eardrum is
clear and it's in there that little bit
wax though hurts to to move around you
want me to leave it in or take it out
and I'll get really cute kid call that
good say we got what we wanted
hopefully that works that works will
come out i encourage you to continue to
help this along by using earwax drops
like either d Brock's or murine ear wax
drop skin because they're going to help
about products or peroxide we prefer
that you uh yeah diluted with some water
yeah there's a little bit in there not a
whole lot so you captured a little bit
of it yeah well it looks like quite a
bit. That one big chunk yeah yeah not a
hundred percent but you have to use the
walks or the the hydrogen peroxide with
water and let that soak in there for 15
minutes twice a day for the next week or
so that's going to help that to soften
up and come out all right well hey
thanks for joining us i get around
series clean out that in Ralph overall
is it better
