Abstract

The invention concerns a device (1) for cleaning and removing the waxlike substance (2) accumulated in the auditory duct (3), comprising a rod (4) for a user to hold the device, extended along an axis (5) and provided with an end portion (6) in the form of a housing with substantially oval longitudinal cross section comprising at least three curved branches, spread at an angle and mutually linked on each side by their respective ends. The end portion (6) has a top mutually connecting the branches by a surface part ranging between 1 and 3 mm<2>, said branches being of fine thickness and polygonal in transversal cross section, said end portion being flexible at the top, so that it can be elastically deformed with a user's normal hand pressure, and rigid in the part nearest the rod.
