What you'll notice on your first procedure
It's quiet
Dramatically quieter than any device you've used before. 16× quieter than traditional devices, you can hold a normal conversation during the procedure. Silent when idle.
No startup shock
Traditional devices blast noise when powered on. Zephyr starts gently -- 43.5 dB quieter at startup. Your patients won't flinch.
Fingertip precision
Instead of fixed or pedal-controlled suction, Zephyr gives you proportional fingertip airflow control. More control, less risk of caloric vertigo.
No blockages
Anti-block technology means you won't need to stop, clear the tip, and restart. Suction stays consistent even with fine debris.
Single-use sterile tips
No cleaning, no autoclaving, no cross-contamination risk. Open a new pack for each patient. Dispose after use.
Getting the most from Zephyr
Start with routine cases
For your first few procedures, choose straightforward ear wax cases. This lets you get comfortable with the fingertip control in a low-pressure setting.
Let patients notice the difference
Many clinicians report that patients spontaneously comment on how quiet the procedure was. This is a natural opening to mention your investment in their comfort.
Track your procedure times
Most clinicians see a 2-3 minute reduction per procedure within the first week. Over a full day, this translates to additional appointment capacity.
Reorder tips early
Single-use tips are your only ongoing consumable. Set up a reorder schedule based on your procedure volume so you never run short.
