5, Bag of 50 pcs cylindrical ear impression pads (otoblock) - for use when taking ear impressions
6, These foam pads make soft and comfortable feeling in the ear. The foam will expand and conform to the shape of the ear canal
7, These pads can be used with both Oto-soft methods of taking ear impressions (ie with injector gun or Soft IT manual mixing)
8, It is also possible to reduce the length of the pad by &x27;pinching&x27; off the excess foam. This allows you to get a better impression of ears with a short ear canal.
Taking an ear impression is not a risk-free process. The safety of the patient&x27;s ear can be put into jeopardy, and, along with it, our relationship with the patient. This essential task must be performed comfortably, safely, and competently.
So, how do you avoid accidents while taking ear impressions? Here are two suggestions:
First, before you start, make sure you have a wide assortment of otoblocks (impression foam) available: different sizes, different materials. And work in excellent light (A good headlamp is highly recommended), so you have very clear visibility into the ear canal.
Second, after you place the otoblock into the canal, test it. Use a light bar and probe all parts of the otoblock. If the block is secure there will be limited or no movement when you probe it. If the otoblock moves when you probe it, that means it is not securely placed and you need to fix it.
You may need to select a larger otoblock or use multiple otoblocks in the canal to make sure it will not move during the impression taking.
