Clinical Application
Designed for otologic and ENT office procedures, this straight, sharp curette is used to remove impacted cerumen, soft debris, and small foreign bodies from the external auditory canal. It is intended for use under direct visualization with an otoscope, headlight, or microscope to allow controlled scraping, elevation, and extraction while minimizing trauma to the canal skin and tympanic membrane.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft geometry provides a predictable working angle for access along the length of the external auditory canal. A sharp, scooped curette edge enables precise dissection and controlled engagement of soft material, reducing the need for multiple instrument exchanges. The overall 16.5 cm length gives clinicians reach and tactile control for one-handed manipulation and instrument guidance under magnification.
