Tula Tympanostomy System
The Tula Tympanostomy System is designed to provide an in-office alternative to traditional tympanostomy procedures. It utilizes a two-part process to facilitate tube placement: a Tula Iontophoresis System, which uses a low-level electrical charge to deliver local anaesthetic through the tympanic membrane, and a Tube Delivery System that automates the myringotomy and insertion process. This approach is intended to allow patients as young as six months to remain comfortable during the procedure, enabling activities such as playing or snacking while the anesthesia takes effect. The system is designed to minimize the time a child needs to remain still during the procedure, with the delivery device capable of creating a myringotomy and inserting a 1.14 mm inner diameter grommet in less than half a second. Supported by educational and training programs developed with input from paediatric psychology experts, the system aims to improve the patient experience by reducing the need for general anesthesia. By streamlining the workflow for clinicians, the Tula System is intended to offer a practical, efficient solution for patients indicated for tympanostomy tube placement.
