OtoSet enables more patients to be treated at the initial point of care," said Sahil Diwan, SafKan Health's co-founder & CEO. How does the device work? During a cleaning cycle, liquid from solution containers moves through disposable ear tips and into the ear canals where it breaks down earwax. Using constant micro-suction, the earwax is dislodged, which then moves with the liquid back through the ear tips and collects into disposable waste containers. As per the startup, the “device offers patients a safe, effective, and mess-free procedure.” Latest funding On Friday, a lead investment was added by the firm Unorthodox Ventures in SafKan Health. This equals total funding of $13 million to date, as per StudyFinds. “I’ve dedicated my career to transforming old technology for the modern era, from ceiling fans to hand sanitizer systems. SafKan Health is doing the same with OtoSet,” said Unorthodox Ventures “Founding Contrarian” Carey Smith.
