curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal

Doc is an ESL (and a pretty good speaker but the sound quality isn't the best), and he sounds like he says he's using a seeramick (spelled phonetically) to remove a BB from this child's ear. I've searched my ENT and equipment books as well as googled and am having no luck finding this. I thought maybe it was his way of pronouncing ceramic, but I don't even know if there is such a thing as a ceramic curette. He's definitely not saying serrated. Any ideas?

They don't always say things exactly right, but that's close enough to know what the dictator meant IMO. It is certainly common to be allergic to a group of antibiotics like that.
