Ear Wick & Pack
Otitis externa can cause significant swelling, irritation, pruritis and pain to the ear canal, whereby the canal is so swollen that it may be difficult to administer ear drops. The major causes behind Otitis Externa includes:
• Bacteria, fungal, or viral infection
• Water in the ear from swimming or poor drainage
• Scratch or cut in the canal, digital trauma
• Chemicals like shampoo, hairspray or gel, makeup or creams
• Sweat and warm weather
• Patients with eczema or psoriasis
• Repeat trauma from foreign objects, like syringes to clear wax
• Inner ear infection or otitis media
Role of Eon Meditech’s ear wick comes into play, once the debris is removed from the external auditory canal (EAC) and the administration of topical medications to control edema & infection is initiated.
Optimum treatment involves inserting Eon Meditech’s ear wick, using the operating microscope and micro forceps, whereby the wick works as a conduit to deliver the antibiotic solutions to the ear canal.
Place this dehydrated and trimmed ear wick into an edematous canal and apply antibiotic/hydrocortisone drops onto it. The wick swells and helps reduce edema by the antimicrobial and antiinflammatory effects of the solution and through pressure exerted against the walls as it expands.
An ear wick is hard when placed in the ear, and it softens and expands as soon as it is moistened. Drops are subsequently instilled at the prescribed frequency, usually three times per day.
As the Eon Meditech’s ear wick is in close contact with the skin lining most of the length of the ear canal, the drug is delivered locally to all the required area.
