McKesson Ear Wash Basin Modified Kidney Polypropylene – EA is a reusable clinical basin specifically molded to fit beneath the patient's ear during ear irrigation and cerumen-removal procedures. Its modified-kidney profile helps position the basin close to the treatment area to collect irrigation fluid during routine ear-care procedures.
Constructed from durable white polypropylene, the basin is nonsterile and may be autoclaved up to 250°F or cold sterilized according to applicable facility procedures for polypropylene. It may also be used with compatible McKesson Ear Wash Systems, providing a practical reusable accessory for ENT, primary care, urgent care, and other clinical ear-care environments.
