General Characteristics
- Full-scale anatomical model of the external ear, featuring the pinna and external auditory canal (EAC).
- Constructed with flexible, skin-like materials for high realism during training.
- Allows traction and manipulation of the pinna during procedures such as impression-taking and otoscopy.
- Durable and elastic, ideal for repeated use in clinical simulations.
- Model does not include instruments, syringes, or impression materials.
Procedures
- Otoscopy and video otoscopy training: The pinna can be lifted to allow insertion of an otoscope, visualizing the full length and curvature of the EAC.
- Ear irrigation training: Compatible with standard syringes to simulate warm water irrigation directly into the canal.
- Impression-taking simulation: Otoblocks can be inserted and checked with otoscopy. Impression paste can be applied using a syringe to fill the canal for practice.
