Ear wax removal is a common procedure performed by many General Practitioners and Nurse Practitioners who have historically performed a “wet” method such as syringing or flushing the ear. Nowadays, the preferred ear wax removal method used and recommended by ENT Specialists and Audiologists is manual removal using Micro-suction or Curettage techniques, under the direct vision of a VorOtek O Scope as it is viewed as a safer and more effective technique.
This hands-on workshop explores problematic ear wax build up and presentations for caution whilst introducing correct Micro Suction and Curettage instrumentation to enable safe, simple and effective wax removal whilst using the VorOtek O Scope.
The VorOtek O scope's unique optical pathway converges the user’s eyes to 12mm, whilst illuminating and magnifying the ear canal and tympanic membrane. This allows the Practitioner to achieve excellent and essential depth perception in the ear canal, enabling instrumentation with greater accuracy.
