Sibbo Ear Puffin

the digital pneumatic otoscope

The Ear Puffin enables digital pneumatic otoscopy for better diagnostics. With the removable insufflation bulb, you can evaluate the mobility, pressure, and integrity of the tympanic membrane to identify conditions like middle ear fluid, perforation, or scarring. Pneumatic otoscopy is considered essential for diagnosing acute otitis media (AOM) and otitis media with effusion (OME) (fluid) as it significantly increases diagnostic sensitivity compared to traditional otoscopy.

Record, replay and reconsider – easy documentation for better ear diagnostics

One of the Ear Puffin’s biggest benefits is the ability to record findings from ear examinations. This enables more accurate diagnosis, documentation, and follow-up. If necessary, you can easily send videos to a specialist for their opinion.

Portable digital pneumatic otoscope – the Ear Puffin fits in your pocket

Weighing just 45 grams, the Puffin is a true pocket rocket. Use the Puffin with your smartphone or tablet and take it with you wherever you go. Its compact size and ergonomic design make the Puffin a versatile and easy-to-use otoscope without compromising on image quality.

Everybody loves Puffins – The child-friendly otoscope

Having an ear examined can be scary for a child. This fear is reduced when the child can look inside their own ear at the same time. Today’s children have grown up in a world of smart devices, and with a digital otoscope, looking inside the ear becomes fun and interesting. The use of a digital otoscope will significantly increase patient satisfaction, including among adult patients.

Ear Puffin digital otoscope is also ideal for teaching and clinical research

There are several studies demonstrating the benefits of digital otoscopes in teaching. The HD image quality and recording capabilities allow findings to be discussed and reviewed multiple times. The Ear Puffin is therefore ideally suited for teaching medical students, young doctors and nurses. Not to mention clinical research, where documentation and evaluation of ear findings is absolutely essential.

Can I use my own tablet or smartphone?

You can use all Sibbo MD devices with your own Android smartphone or tablet (iOS coming spring 2026). You need to download the Sibbo MD app from the Google Play store. However, since there are so many Android manufacturers, we cannot guarantee that the otoscope will work with every possible Android device.

How is the Ear Puffin cleaned? What if I need to disinfect it?

The Ear Puffin can be cleaned using medical grade cleaning wipes with applicable intended purpose (e.g. 70%-isopropanol). Use a damp cloth, do not soak. For comprehensive disinfection we recommend with Tristel Trio or UV Smart D25 devices.

What type of ear funnels fit the Ear Puffin?

The Ear Puffin is used with bayonet- style (push-and-twist) ear funnels for fast and secure coupling. Suitable funnels are available from many manufacturers (e.g. Heine AllSpec, Hpm, Mekalasi). We recommend using matte black funnels to optimize image quality. Generally speaking, 4 mm funnels work best, but smaller ones can also be used. In that case, you should zoom in, which will slightly reduce image quality.
