Description
OTOSILK Otological Strips are used in the process of packing the external auditory canal following surgical procedures such as tympanoplasty or stapedectomy. The strips can be moistened prior to use using either sterile saline or medication solution. OTOSILK can be removed from five to fourteen days following insertion during a routine outpatient follow-up visit, much like sutures or other temporary packing. The blue color of the strips aids in visualization during removal.
The ends of the OTOSILK strips have been heatsealed to prevent unraveling or shedding. Each strip measures .25” wide by 1.75” long.
Intended Use
For use as a temporary dressing in the external auditory canal following surgery.
