Excellent work from Sandy Lu (Registered Nurse) during our recent ®️ training course in , 🇦🇺 👏🏼
In this video, Sandy expertly uses the Rai Angled Curette to remove artificial ear wax using the WAXscope®️.
What made this particularly impressive was her performance in the right ear, which was intentionally more challenging due to the narrow anatomy.
Initially, we examined the ear using a Size 1 specula (our smaller option). However, I wanted to challenge Sandy and asked her to perform the procedure using the Size 2 specula instead.
Why?
Because when used with the correct insertion technique, a larger specula can provide a wider field of view, which becomes particularly beneficial when using manual instruments such as curettes.
Although it can feel less intuitive at first in narrower ears, developing confidence with different specula sizes is an important part of advancing technique and improving instrument control.
Sandy adapted brilliantly and demonstrated exactly how the combination of good technique, magnification, and visualisation can make even more challenging cases feel controlled and predictable.
Fantastic work, Sandy
