Description

 Insufflation bulb is a small, rubber bulb used with an otoscope to gently blow air into the ear canal. This allows healthcare professionals to assess the mobility of the eardrum (tympanic membrane) and look for signs of fluid or infection in the middle ear. It’s a small, rubber bulb, often attached to an otoscope, a medical instrument used to examine the ear canal and eardrum.The bulb is squeezed, creating a puff of air that is directed into the ear canal through the otoscope.This air pressure helps the healthcare provider observe the movement of the eardrum, which can indicate the presence of fluid, infections, or other abnormalities in the middle ear.Insufflation bulbs are particularly helpful in diagnosing otitis media (middle ear infection) and other conditions affecting the middle ear.
