Ear wick, biodegradable

Definition
A fragmentable packing, composed of a biodegradable material [e.g., poly(DL-lactide-co-caprolactone)], intended to prevent adhesions between mucosal surfaces in the ear of a patient undergoing outer ear surgery. It typically helps to mimimize bleeding via a tamponade effect and blood absorption. This is a single-use device.
