Shepard Grommet (16-11110)
Grommets, also known as ventilation tubes or tympanostomy tubes, are very small tubes that are placed in the patient’s ear during a surgical procedure. Grommets are inserted through a small hole to treat conditions such as chronic middle ear infections and adhesive otitis media. Ear adhesions are usually associated with pain and fluid accumulation in the middle ear, which can cause hearing problems. The ear grommet allows air to pass through the eardrum and keeps the air pressure equal on both sides. The surgeon makes a small hole in the eardrum and places the grommet in the hole. This small tube usually stays in place for six to twelve months and does not cause any discomfort, and after this period it falls by itself and leaves no trace in the eardrum.
