Clinical Application
Designed for otologic procedures that require controlled sampling of small soft-tissue lesions, the instrument is used to obtain biopsies from the external auditory canal, pericanal skin, and lateral margins of the tympanic membrane. Its compact length and fine jaw geometry make it suitable for office-based ENT biopsies as well as procedure-room and operating-room use where precise tissue excision and retrieval are required.
Design & Configuration
The Hartmann-style jaw geometry features small, cupped tips that provide secure tissue capture with minimal crush injury, important when preserving histologic architecture for pathology. The short 8.5 cm overall length improves maneuverability in the narrow confines of the ear canal and allows the surgeon to maintain tactile feedback and control. The hand-held forceps configuration enables precise positioning and single-handed operation during specimen retrieval.
