The next-generation Hummingbird device features an enhanced ergonomic design that allows for a more efficient ear tube delivery in children. A tympanostomy is a surgical procedure in which a surgical opening is made in the eardrum, or tympanic membrane, to promote drainage of infected fluid from the middle ear and tympanostomy tubes are implanted surgically into the eardrum to promote ongoing drainage. Tympanostomy tubes are tiny cylinders, usually made of plastic or metal, that are inserted surgically into the eardrum. An ear tube creates an airway that ventilates the middle ear and prevents the accumulation of fluids behind the eardrum.
The aforementioned factors are also expected to accelerate the growth of the Tympanostomy Products Market. Tympanostomy products are the primary surgical intervention for the otitis media. This is a worldwide common health problem, especially in pediatrics. In North America and Europe, the Tympanostomy Products Market is expected to witness robust growth due to the increasing approval of tympanostomy products by regulatory authorities. In May 2020, Smith+Nephew launched FDA-approved Tula System, an in-office solution for placement of tympanostomy tubes (commonly known as ear tubes).
The Tula System gives ENT surgeons an option to place ear tubes in an awake child during an office visit without the need for general anesthesia.
