The Otovent package contains a special balloon and a special accessory that helps to fix the balloon in the nostril. The ear muscles are exercised by regularly exercising with OTOVENT by blowing your nostril into the balloon through the special attachment.

Otovent can be used in any situation where there is an inability to cope with the negative pressure of the middle ear (dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, otitis media with fluid collection, during or after a flight, after diving, treatment in a pressure chamber). These conditions if left untreated can lead to a temporary feeling of heaviness and hearing problems. After a few weeks, fluid can also collect in the middle ear.

The Otovent® method can be divided into two phases:

The inflation phase: when you inflate the balloon by blowing through your nostril.

The deflation phase (To be used only if the inflation phase is ineffective): when you let the air flow from the balloon into your nostril, and perform a series of swallowing movements.

It is recommended to use the inflation phase the first times you use Otovent®. However, only in the event that you do not feel any equalization of pressures as a result of the inflation phase, you should use both phases.

You should not use Otovent® if you have acute otitis media or an upper respiratory tract infection.

How To Use

Initially Otovent should be used at least three times a day (morning, noon, evening). After one week, it should be used at least twice a day (morning and evening). The normal duration of treatment is 2-3 weeks, after which the doctor will have to decide whether or not to continue the treatment. Each medical balloon should be inflated a maximum of 20 times.

Inflating phase

1. Attach the nose piece to the balloon.

1. Hold the round part of the nose piece firmly against your right nostril with your right hand. Press to close your left nostril using the fingers of your left hand.

2. Inhale deeply and close your mouth. Inflate the balloon until it is the size of a grapefruit by blowing through your right nostril.

3. Repeat the process with your left nostril.

Some patients may experience ear discomfort or dizziness during inflation. This initial sensation will diminish during the next inflation and is an indication that the procedure is being done correctly.

If you don’t feel anything in your ear, repeat step 2 but tilt your head forward and then to the right, then repeat step 3.

Deflation phase (To be used only if the inflation phase is ineffective).

If you still feel nothing in your ear, then when you have inflated the balloon, still keeping your mouth closed, and with the nose piece firmly in your nostril:

A. Perform a series of swallowing movements (do not swallow the air from the balloon).

B. Repeat the above steps with your left nostril.

Maintenance

Clean the nosepiece with mild soap after use. Rinse the nosepiece with clean water. Discard used balloons after you have inflated them 20 times.

You should not use Otovent if you have acute otitis media or an upper respiratory tract infection.
