In some practices, otitis externa is treated with ear wick and patient is asked to remove it independently without re-attending clinic. * Although this method reduces workload on aural care services, it can be unhygienic and difficult to perform. * We propose a new design whereby the wick is tied to a string to facilitate its later removal. * Out of 18 patients treated with this method, only 4 opted to re-attend for further aural care.
在一些医疗实践中，外耳道炎采用耳条进行治疗，并且要求患者自行取出耳条而无需再次就诊。* 尽管这种方法减轻了耳部护理服务的工作量，但它可能不卫生且操作困难。* 我们提出了一种新设计，将耳条系在一根线上以便于日后取出。* 在采用这种方法治疗的18名患者中，只有4人选择再次就诊以接受进一步的耳部护理。
