Clinical Application
Designed to deliver controlled, low-energy impacts for delicate otologic work, this mallet is used in procedures that require precise tapping of footplate instruments such as micro-osteotomes, perforators, or chisels. It facilitates fine control during stapedotomy, stapedectomy, and other middle-ear operations where measured force is required to mobilize or modify the stapes footplate without transmitting excessive shock to adjacent structures.
Design & Configuration
The 20 cm overall length provides a balance between reach and tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to apply precise, incremental force. The compact profile and weight distribution are intended to minimize transmitted vibration while maximizing control for delicate tapping motions. The footprint and geometry are optimized for use alongside standard footplate micro-instruments used in otologic surgery.
