Micro-suction under the direct vision of a VorOtek O Scope is a simple, safe, and effective way to remove excess ear wax and clear blockages in the ear canal. It is accepted as the safest and most comfortable & effective technique when compared to traditional “wet” ear wax removal methods such as syringing and irrigation.
VorOtek offers a full range of micro-suction equipment and access to exceptional training providers to support you in making the transition to micro-suction under direct vision.

Direct Vision Equipment – VorOtek O Scope
The VorOtek O Scope is ideal for micro-suction. 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 micro-suction requires a suction pump that offers a gentle suction flow rate of 15-20L/min and a vacuum level of 500-600mmHg. The pump should be light weight, quiet and fully portable. VorOtek has carefully selected a Suction Pump ideal for ear wax micro-suction. Check out our Set Up Video.
Micro-suction tubes & Controller Handles
Micro-suction tubes which are 70mm in length with a diameter of 1.47mm – 2.7mm, are ideal for ear wax micro-suction. VorOtek stocks the most common sizes including Green 14 Gauge (2.0mm), Red/Blue 12 Gauge (2.7mm) and Purple 17 Gauge (1.47mm) tubes. For greater control during wax removal, controller handles are also available.
Other consumables and spare parts
VorOtek stocks a range of silicone tubing and other spare parts to keep your micro-suction equipment running in top condition, please see our spare parts/accessories page for more details.
