Clinical Application
Designed for otolaryngology procedures requiring fine, controlled grasping in confined anatomy. The small 4 mm smooth jaws are intended for atraumatic removal of foreign bodies and impacted cerumen, precise handling of soft tissue and small grafts, and general micro-instrumentation in the external auditory canal and middle ear under microscopic or binocular visualization. The instrument is useful in clinic procedures, minor operative procedures and operative suites where visibility and delicate control are essential.
Design & Configuration
The alligator-style geometry provides a distal, low-profile jaw that can be advanced into narrow, curved canals while the operator’s hand remains clear of the field. The slender shaft and tip-focused closure enable an inline approach that preserves visibility through microscopes or endoscopes. Smooth opposing jaws allow secure, atraumatic purchase on soft tissue and small debris without serrations that can catch or fragment material.
Instrument Specifications
