title: How we do it: the Bradford grommet trainer: a model for training in myringotomy and grommet insertion.
abstract: Myringotomy and grommet insertion is the most common operative procedure in otological practice. We describe a simple, cheap and effective model for the junior trainee to develop the skills required for myringotomy and grommet insertion without compromising patient safety. As the materials required for our model are more readily available, it is more likely to gain widespread acceptance in ENT training.
