WHY CHOOSE MICROSUCTION?
It is regarded as the 'gold standard'.
Microsuction is widely recognised as one of the safest and most effective methods for earwax removal that offers significant advantages over traditional techniques like syringing or irrigation. This method uses a fine suction device under a microscope to gently remove earwax while providing excellent visibility of the ear canal through specula or cannula, making it the preferred choice for healthcare providers.
Key Benefits include:
Direct visual guidance minimising risk
Less risk of infection since no water is used
Suitable for a wide range of patients
Higher patient satisfaction

Very professional service, I had a lot of ear wax and also a funny sensation in one ear which Hafiza took the time to explain and show me what was going on. Professionally cleaned, my ears and I are very happy 🙂
