Removal of Ear Wax—A Technological Advance

W. E. KEITER M.D.

The problem of washing impacted wax from the ear canal has been the most cumbersome and unpleasant task the pediatrician performs. Now using the Water Pik (manufactured by Aqua Tec Corp., Denver, Colorado) this task has been made easy and pleasant. The nozzle of this little machine directs a fine intermittent stream, the pressure of which can be varied and controlled, and can be directed easily into even the small ear canals. The addition of an off and on foot switch into the electrical circuit facilitates still more the ease of operation.
