SAFKAN HEALTH'S STORY
Bringing ear care into the 21st century
More than 35 million Americans suffer from impacted earwax, the leading cause of conductive hearing loss. That's one in 10 children, one in 20 adults, and more than one in three seniors. For 200 years, the medical standard of care has been the ear-and-bladder syringe, a medieval-looking device that squirts water into ear canals.
No more. Medical device startup SafKan Health developed the world's first automated ear cleaning device — the FDA-cleared OtoSet® Ear Cleaning System. OtoSet brings ear care into the 21st century with a novel system of irrigation and micro-suction technology, all built into an automated and wearable device resembling a familiar and sleek pair of headphones.
OtoSet simplifies earwax removal for clinicians, reducing the time required from 20 minutes to less than five, and offers patients a safe, effective, and mess-free procedure.
