Clear, Microsuction and Ear Care Clinic

Clear, Microsuction and Ear Care Clinic is an ear care clinic in Christchurch offering ear wax removal by microsuction and by irrigation. In microsuction, wax is removed by placing a small suction tube in the ear canal while the clinician uses a bright light and magnifying loupes; irrigation uses a controlled flow of water to flush wax from the canal. Microsuction can be carried out where irrigation is contraindicated, including perforated eardrums, grommets, mastoid cavities and cleft palate, and for clearing foreign objects. Treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes.
