Ear Tampons
Ear tampons are used for post otoplasty tamponing of the outer acoustic canal and outer ear
drum. They are made of diverse materials, most commonly used today are; gelatin, PVA
(Polyvinyl alcohol) and cotton.
The products made of purified porcine gelatin can also be used in the middle ear, as they can be
completely absorbed by the body.
Ear tampons protect the operated area from external mechanical influences and can be used in
the application of antibiotics.
