一种直接将药物输送到内耳的新方法已经开发出来。这种被称为MicroWick™的递送系统涉及使用通过鼓膜通气管插入圆窗龛中的小芯。一旦芯被插入，患者可以将滴耳液自我施用到耳道中，在耳道中滴耳液被芯吸收并输送到圆窗膜和内耳流体。插入灯芯是在办公室进行的一个小程序。本文描述了MicroWick的适应症和使用。
A new procedure for delivering medication directly to the inner ear has been developed. This delivery system, called the MicroWick™, involves the use of a small wick that is inserted through a tympanic membrane vent tube into the round window niche. Once the wick has been inserted, the patient can self-administer eardrops into the ear canal, where they are absorbed by the wick and transported to the round window membrane and to the inner ear fluids. Inserting the wick is a minor procedure that is performed in the office. This paper describes the indications for and use of the MicroWick.
