The Essential Microsuction Equipment Pack provides all the standard equipment essentials necessary to start an aural microsuction practice for both clinic-based and domiciliary businesses.
Equipment Packages Come Complete with the following:
Great All-Rounder: Suitable for both domiciliary and clinic environments. The Drive DeVilbiss Vacuaide 7325P-U Portable Suction Unit is designed to perform effective suctioning in a comfortable, safe and hygienic way. It features a Li-ion battery with a quick charging time and long battery life for improved performance.
Best for Budget & Static Clinics: The CA-MI AS100 is a fantastic low-cost unit with an incredible 40l/min airflow suction rate compared with the 26l/min of the DeVilbiss units with critical similar safety and performance advantages. It is adaptable with Flovac Liners. It has a larger footprint than the DeVilbiss units, is not too much louder than the 7325p-U, and can only be used directly from the power supply. Find out more...
Please be aware that suction units are CE certified for the intended purpose to remove material from the airway or respiratory support system and infectious materials from wounds. They will therefore be classified as an adapted device if used aurally, and certain rules must be followed as governed by the MHRA. It's not difficult to comply and you can find help and more information here.
Best for Personal Use: Opticlar TTL ENT EasiLoupes 340mm 3.0x with Light & Case. We've tried a lot of loupes at The Hearing Lab and we believe you can't get better loupes than those made by Opticlar unless you spend at least twice as much. For the purpose of looking down an ear canal, these are perfect and have been designed especially for the purpose of aural microsuction. Through the Lens or TTLs are customised to your inter-pupillary distance (IPD) and they are light and comfortable to wear. To measure your IPD, you can ask a friend to look into your eyes from about 30cm away and measure the distance between your eyeballs with a see-through ruler. Alternatively, you can ask your optician. You cannot wear prescription glasses with these so you will need good eyesight or contact lenses. Lifetime light warranty and 5-year battery warranty.

Best for Multi-Person Use: Opticlar VisionMax Loupes & Light on Headband with Case. These are the must-have set if you work in a surgery, clinic, or centre where a few people share the same equipment. These are suspended over the eyes or prescription glasses and can be adjusted to suit any head size and IPD. The lens flips up, out of the way so that you can carry out otoscopy with ease and other tasks without taking them off. Lifetime light warranty and 5-year battery warranty. Find out more...
Add The Hearing Lab USB microscope to your order. Unfortunately, it isn't wireless but the image quality is currently better than anything else that is. Terrific value and really easy to use. We use it to show patients before and after photos that they love, send images to other medical professionals and for protection against any potential litigation. A picture is worth a thousand words. One-Year Warranty. Find out more...
