Abstract

This product is a tampon that is placed in the ear canal of humans and animals and may be constructed of any (natural or artificial) water absorbents, with an integrated cord in a circular shape and perforated elastic cap. During the construction the circular shaped cord is placed in such a way that when you remove the tampon from the ear canal, it is unlikely for the cord to detach from the tampon. The main body (of the tampon) will consist of absorbent, hypoallergenic materials after previously having being compressed to reduce their volume just in exactly the same manner as the known vaginal tampons. The reason for the existence and construction of this product is to contribute to the prevention of otitis and / or to protect against relapse when the user is already suffering from the infection (otitis). The advantage of this invention is that this tampon will prevent ear infections and / or reduce relapse to a large extent, in a safe and healthy manner.
