Tool for detaching an Oticon Micro Mold

Any small Allen wrench will work. They are just pushing on the Power Receiver housing in the video. It pops out of the Micro-Mold pretty easily. Make sure the Allen wrench or whatever you use doesn’t force the wax guard on the Power Receiver housing into it. i.e. The diameter of the Allen wrench must fit into the Micro-mold output hole snuggly for it to be large enough to “catch” the circular Power Receiver housing output area.

P.S. I’ve used finishing nail punches as well. The video shows the exact receiver on my Cochlear Hybrid implant acoustic component. Be careful, use a plastic punch if you can get one, and don’t try this if you are not confident in your ability to manipulate small hand tools on delicate medical devices.
