UK EAR CARE SPECIALISTS — CAN YOU HELP?
Have you purchased or used any of the three specula pictured on the LEFT?
We are gathering evidence concerning suspected infringement of our Clearwax speculum patent, pictured on the RIGHT.
If you recognise these products, please contact us privately with:
• The supplier and approximate purchase date
• Photographs of the specula and original packaging
• Any invoices, product labelling or instructions supplied
• Details of any recent demonstrations or sales
We understand these specula have been supplied by UK ear wax removal training companies, including providers training pharmacists. Both companies we contacted have told us they have stopped producing and/or selling them. However, we have since received a report of a possible further demonstration.
We are also seeking information about products supplied without medical device labelling or decontamination instructions.
When purchasing clinical equipment, ask for appropriate labelling, manufacturer details and instructions for safe use, including validated decontamination instructions for reusable devices.

Please send information privately rather than naming suppliers in the comments.
