What is
Microsuction?
Microsuction is a modern, safe, and highly effective method used for the removal of earwax and debris from the ear canal. It has gained popularity in recent years as a preferred alternative to traditional earwax removal techniques, such as ear syringing or ear irrigation.
Microsuction involves the use of a specialised tool and a microscope or loupe magnification system to allow the practitioner to see inside the ear canal clearly. This technique offers practitioners better precision and control when removing earwax, while also being more comfortable for the patient.
​
Precision
Microsuction allows for the precise removal of earwax without the risk of damaging the delicate structures of the ear canal or eardrum. Practitioners can view the process in detail, ensuring complete safety.
Comfort
Unlike traditional methods like ear syringing, microsuction typically causes less discomfort for the patient. It involves gentle suction, making it a more tolerable experience, even for those with sensitive ears.
Efficiency
The process is often faster than other methods, making it convenient for patients. With greater efficiency, the treatment can be completed swiftly, reducing the time you need to spend at the clinic.
​
Cleanliness
Microsuction is a clean and tidy procedure. There's no need for water, which means no mess or risk of infection due to waterborne pathogens.
