Day Ear Hook 16cm Fig.2

Clinical Application

Designed for otologic and general ENT procedures, this hook provides controlled retraction of the auricle and soft tissues to expose the external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, and post-auricular field. Common uses include canal debridement, exposure during tympanoplasty or myringotomy, assistance with middle ear access via post-auricular approaches, and positioning of the pinna during outpatient ear procedures. The 16 cm length gives additional reach for deeper or recessed fields while maintaining a low-profile working line.

Design & Configuration

The Fig. 2 curvature creates a defined angulation that retracts the auricle and soft tissue away from the surgical field without excessive bulk in front of the operative site. A single hook tip concentrates retraction at a narrow footprint, improving visualization and allowing a second hand or instrument to work alongside. The elongated shaft provides increased reach for cases where access must be maintained through a small incision or when working with deeper canal anatomy.
