Direct Vision Equipment – VorOtek O Scope
The VorOtek O Scope is ideal for aural care and ear wax microsuction. It is a head-worn, light weight microscope that delivers outstanding binocular vision in the deep ear canal. Like a traditional microscope, the VorOtek O Scope’s optical pathway converges the eyes to just 12mm apart which provides excellent depth perception – critical for safe and effective ear wax removal.
Suction Pump
Effective ear wax removal by microsuction requires a suction pump that offers a gentle suction flow rate of 15-22L/min and a gentle vacuum level of 40-75KPa. The VorOtek microsuction pump is light weight at 3.9kg, quiet-operates at 50dB and fully portable with a small footprint (314 x 123 x 233mm). VorOtek has carefully selected a Suction Pump ideal for ear wax microsuction. Please review our set up for further information Set Up Video.
