Microsuction is a system which effectively uses a vacuum to clear out any debris or wax from the ear canal. There is currently only one CE approved piece of equipment registered to do this however, it is common practice to use ‘off label’ devices. The CE marked unit is designed to remove fluids from the airway or respiratory tract and remove infectious materials from wounds. It has been specifically adapted for aural microsuction. In the procedure, a fine suction tube is gently inserted into the ear canal while being viewed closely through a microscope or magnifying Loupe headsets. May cause abrasion, bleeding or discomfort of the ear canal.
