Overview
Aural Micro-suctioning service to provide ear wax removal locally, via an inter-practice referral, for more complex cases. Aural Micro-suctioning uses direct microscopic vision with a small suction tube to remove cerumen, discharge and debris present in the ear canal.
The delicate ear structures are seen throughout the procedure by the clinician, so this technique is associated with the least risk to the ears and hearing mechanism. A recent procurement exercise was subject to challenge and subsequently reviewed by the Independent Patient Choice and Procurement Panel.
The ICB has decided to complete an independent review of the previous procurement process ahead of finalising the procurement. An 8 month contract has been awarded to ensure continuity of service is maintained whilst this takes place.
