Course in ear wax removal (microsuction)

Value for organisations:

Microsuction is a strategic treatment option for ear health, whether it is a foreign body or wax removal that is required. This course requires a strong understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the ear. Build the knowledge of when to use microsuction, as a technique, with practice and assessments using mannequins to enhance capability, and strengthen patient care.

Learning outcomes:

• establishing the need for microsuction and assessing the client’s physical and pathophysiological auditory status
• applying the fit and use of a binocular head-worn microscope
• examine and select the tools required to perform ear wax removal
• classify and prepare equipment for microsuction
• perform ear wax removal and/or ear canal microsuctioning procedures if deemed appropriate and safe
• provide post-procedure care.
