Microsuction - Safer, Cleaner management

Otocare uses the microsuction system to prevent and manage impacted ear wax. It is dry and safe, however needs specialised equipment and training unavailable to GP’s as they do their rounds in an aged care facility.

Clinical reasons why microsuction is superior to ear syringing to maintain better ear health in aged care include:

• Better comfort

• Suitable for ears with a history of perforated tympanic membranes and middle ear pathology

• Damage to the ear drum mitigated

• Elimination of risks of syringing induced Necrotizing Otitis Externa

• Suitable for patients with unilateral hearing loss

• Suitable for patients with exostoses

• Suitable for patients susceptible to vertigo

• Manual process allows for comfortable removal of excess keratosis

This makes microsuction ideal not only treating already impacted earwax but in proactively preventing wax impaction from occurring in at all.
