Disposable supplies are an essential component of maintaining hygiene, cleanliness, and patient comfort when using GSI equipment. In this blog, we will explore different disposable options available for use with GSI devices and discuss the benefits of each. Below are the four most widely used disposable supplies.

Disposable Options for GSI Equipment:

Foam Inserts - Benefits

  • Hygiene: Foam inserts are single use supplies; therefore, a brand-new set of inserts is used for every patient. This minimizes the risk of contamination and cross-infection.
  • Comfort: Soft and pliable foam material offers a comfortable fit for patients during diagnostic tests.
  • Noise: There is a natural attenuation with foam inserts that reduces ambient noise to ensure a quiet test environment for the patient.
  • Can also be used for contralateral reflex testing in GSI’s clinical tympanometry testing equipment.

Cushion Covers - Benefits

  • Hygiene: Cushion covers provide a clean surface for patient contact.
  • Comfort: Soft and breathable material enhances patient comfort during testing sessions.
  • Compatibility: Designed to fit GSI equipment, ensuring a proper fit and reliable results.

TYMPANOMETRY AND OAE

Ear Tips  - Benefits

  • Hygiene: Each patient receives fresh eartips, ensuring cleanliness and reducing the risk of infections.
  • Compatibility: Available in different sizes and compatible with GSI equipment, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
