The Hummingbird
A breakthrough technology enabling ENT surgeons to perform ear tube procedures in the comfort of the office without putting a child under general anesthesia.
For Parents
Designed by Parents. Focused on Children.
Each year, close to 1 million children undergo ear tube procedures, called a tympanostomy, under general anesthesia in the United States.¹ As parents, including a pediatric anesthesiologist, the founders of Preceptis Medical understood the stress and costs associated with putting young children to sleep for surgery. Preceptis’ FDA Cleared Hummingbird Device provides a new option for ENTs and parents to choose the best option for their children.²

Until now, ear tube options were limited for younger children and always involved an operating room visit and general anesthesia for a routine procedure. The Hummingbird enables your ENT surgeon to perform ear tube procedures in the comfort of the office.

How Are Ear Infections Managed Using Ear Tubes?
Hear From Our Hummingbird Parents.
“We got hummingbird tubes for my son and it was a no brainer to do the same when my daughter needed tubes. We would do it again for our third child.”
“Our son recovered immediately. And he was awesome for the rest of the day. The procedure was easy on my child and easy on me as a parent.”
“No need for general anesthesia and arguably more important, no need to ask our toddler to fast before the procedure was completed! It was also much less expensive than traditional ear tubes.”
“Couldn’t have been more amazed at how quick this procedure was. This has been a true life saver.”
The Hummingbird Tympanostomy Tube System (TTS) is FDA 510 (k) cleared for use in children 6 months and older. Please discuss with your ENT provider to determine if the Hummingbird is right for your child.
