Placement
The space-occupying pack supports healing surfaces and helps prevent adhesions between the tympanic membrane graft and the canal skin.
VELNEZ· The Optimal Healing Solution
Designed to simplify what happens after packing
Velnez Ear is a fully fragmentable, biocompatible sponge matrix for packing the external auditory canal following ear surgery. It separates healing surfaces without creating a pack that must later be manually removed.
Natural fragmentation
The dressing fragments naturally in situ, with no manual pack extraction.
Routine review
Residual material is cleared during routine post-operative care or drains naturally from the ear canal.
Fragmentation
Controlled, natural fragmentation in situ.
Healing surfaces
Helps prevent adhesion and oedema while supporting graft and tissue structures.
Clinical action
Haemostatic and naturally bacteriostatic.
Handling
Ready to use with no preparation required.
Considered beyond the operating theatre
The value of a fragmentable canal dressing continues into the post-operative pathway.
