Barbara Micro Otology needle cvd 15cm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate suturing and tissue approximation in otologic procedures, this micro curved needle is intended for use under the operating microscope where precision and minimal tissue trauma are critical. Common applications include tympanoplasty, repair of tympanic membrane perforations, ossicular chain repair, canalplasty, and other middle-ear soft tissue work that requires fine control and access within a confined surgical field.

Design & Configuration

The curved profile provides an arc that facilitates needle passage in narrow corridors such as the external auditory canal and middle ear spaces, allowing approach angles that reduce hand contortion and improve visibility through the microscope. The micro-sized, fine-point geometry minimizes tissue drag and trauma when placing delicate sutures in mucosa, fascia, or graft materials. The 15 cm overall length balances reach and control for both direct and microscopic handling techniques, enabling comfortable instrument handling while preserving tactile feedback.
