Original Armstrong, Plain End Type and Grommet Types with outer flange are available, which helps prevent migration into middle ear. For long-term ventilation.
Paparella Major
Unique design of notched inner flange facilitates insertion through simple "twist-in" movement. Very stable for long-term implantation. Integral tab for removal with forceps. Available in Paparella Major and Paparella Minor.

Reuter Bobbins (Fluroplastic / Titanium)
Proven long-term design with excellent history of providing extended duration of middle ear ventilation compared to standard short-term tubes.
Sheppard Shah Vent
Similar to Sheppard design with extended tab or wire on outer flange to facilitate insertion. Addition of "Shoehorn"/elongated tongue on inner flange allows smaller incision and easier insertion and helps prevent early extrusion.

The silicone material allows soft flanges to collapse easily for introduction through a very small incision and safe and comfortable removal at any time.
