Clinical Application
Designed to provide secure, atraumatic handling of auricular soft tissue and cartilage during otologic, ENT and reconstructive procedures. The instrument is suitable for tasks such as stabilization of cartilage during otoplasty and auricular framework reconstruction, atraumatic grasping during debridement and graft placement, and precise tissue manipulation where preservation of tissue integrity is critical.
Design & Configuration
The DeBakey‑Harken atraumatic jaw geometry distributes contact pressure along the tissue to minimize crushing and reduce postoperative trauma. A 24 cm overall length gives extended reach for operating around the ear and into deeper surgical pockets while maintaining tactile control. The long, slender profile facilitates access in confined head-and-neck fields without obstructing the surgeon’s view.
