The Evolution of Our Products
EarWay® Pro
Launched in 2018 as Earways Medical Ltd.’s flagship product, the EarWay® Pro revolutionized the professional ear care market. The genesis of EarWay® Pro was motivated by the clear need for a safer, more effective approach to ear wax removal for clinicians. Prior to its introduction practitioners relied on methods that were often time-consuming, ineffective and uncomfortable to patients. The EarWay® Pro’s innovative helical design combined ease of use with efficiency, making it a preferred choice among healthcare professionals. Its development was a result of extensive research, clinical trials, and collaboration with experts in otology, ensuring that it met the highest standards of safety and effectiveness.
EarWay® Pro is patented, has received recognition from the National Health Service in England and is currently available in the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
“NHS Supply Chain has identified the EarWay® Pro device that can offer NHS Trusts & Audiology departments savings from the improved efficiency of services provided as well as providing better experience for the patient “.
EarWay®
Building on the success of EarWay® Pro, Earways Medical is expanding its product line to include the EarWay®, a consumer-friendly version of the professional tool. The EarWay® was developed to meet the demand for a safe and effective way to manage ear wax removal without the need for clinical training or licensing. It embodies the core principles of simplicity and safety that Earways Medical stands for, allowing individuals to take control of their ear health with confidence. The EarWay’s launch not only demystified the process of ear care but also brings professional-level efficacy to the homes of users worldwide, once again demonstrating Earways Medical’s commitment to innovating for better ear health.
