Insta-Putty® Silicone Earplugs

THE REUSABLE CLINICAL ALTERNATIVE

MRI SAFETY TESTED & COMPLIANT

The Reusable Alternative to Custom Earplugs

Trusted for Water Protection & MRI Patient Safety

From post-myringotomy ear tube care to high-decibel MRI acoustic safety, Insta-Putty® provides immediate, hypoallergenic silicone isolation. Engineered with a cushiony-soft, hydrophobic formulation, it comfortably seals the outer ear bowl without canal insertion—delivering superior water sealing, artifact-free imaging protection, and easy layering under pediatric mini-headphones and muffs.

CLINICAL WATER PROTECTION & INFECTION DEFENSE

Superior Water Isolation for Post-Surgical & Vulnerable Ears

  • Pediatric Myringotomy (Ear Tube) Care: The ideal immediate, reusable recommendation for parents needing reliable water isolation right after tube placement surgery, eliminating laboratory wait times for custom molds.
  • Advanced Hydrophobic Formulation: Specially engineered for maximum water repellency, creating an impenetrable moisture barrier during swimming, showering, and bathing to prevent water from entering the ear canal.
  • Superior Co-Adhesion (Stays Sealed): Features enhanced surface tack and co-adhesion to adhere safely to the outer ear bowl during active water play, yet removes cleanly in one piece without leaving tacky residue or causing canal irritation.
  • Swimmer’s Ear & Chronic Infection Defense: Keeps bacteria-laden pool, lake, or bath water completely away from compromised tympanic membranes and vulnerable ear canals.
RADIOLOGY & MRI DEPARTMENT SOLUTION

Why Hospital Radiology Departments Rely on Insta-Putty® for MRI Patient Care

  • MRI Safe & Non-Conductive: Formulated from high-grade, hypoallergenic silicone containing zero conductive elements or ferromagnetic properties. Fully safe in high-field MRI environments (1.5T, 3T, and higher) with no risk of RF heating, magnetic displacement, or scan interference.
  • Zero Image Artifact Interference: Pure silicone formulation will not cause susceptibility artifacts, distortion, or signal loss on brain, neck, or head-and-neck scan sequences.
  • High Acoustic Isolation Against Gradient Noise: Magnetic resonance imaging produces severe acoustic noise (often exceeding 110-120 dBA). Insta-Putty® creates a tight acoustic seal across the ear canal, suppressing harsh gradient coil knocking to protect patient hearing and reduce claustrophobic anxiety.
  • Ideal for Infants, Children & Narrow Head Coils: Because Insta-Putty® molds across the outer concha bowl rather than pushing deep into the ear canal, it is exceptionally gentle and successful with babies and small children. Its flat, ultra-low profile eliminates painful pressure points in tight head coils and layers smoothly beneath neonatal/pediatric mini-headphones and noise muffs for dual-layer acoustic protection.
  • Hygienic Single-Session Dispensing: Pre-packaged in clean 1-pair and 2-pair formats, providing hospital staff with rapid, hygienic, single-patient dispensing that prevents cross-contamination.

Proven Material Science Advantages

Cushiony-Soft Moldability

Formulated from high-grade, hypoallergenic, non-toxic silicones that mold smoothly and effortlessly to any ear size (pediatric to adult) without causing tissue pressure or fatigue.

Effective Noise Attenuation

Softens loud and annoying ambient noises when worn as directed, making it ideal for sleeping, studying, hospital stays, or light noise sensitivity.

Discreet & Low-Profile Appearance

Partially translucent silicone blends naturally into the ear canal and outer ear bowl, boosting compliance for self-conscious pediatric or adult patients.

Color Packaged for Extended Hygiene & Aesthetics

Color-packaged for a clean, professional appearance that encourages better patient compliance, aesthetic appeal, and a longer reusable lifespan.
