Ear health is an important but often overlooked part of our wellbeing. One of the safest and most effective methods for removing earwax is ear micro-suction. Unlike traditional syringing, which uses water under pressure, micro suction is a precise technique performed under direct vision with a microscope or loupes, using a gentle suction device to remove wax and debris. This method is recommended as best practice because it is safe, comfortable, and suitable for people with ear conditions such as perforated eardrums, previous ear surgery, or recurrent infections.

At Twizel Medical Centre, our nursing team have completed specialist training in ear micro suction.

We would like to sincerely thank the Twizel Medical Centre Trust and Meridian Energy for their generous support in funding the purchase of micro-suction equipment and the training. Their contribution has enabled us to bring this best-practice service to the Twizel community.
