Politzer Ear Knife deli. lance angled 16.5cm

Clinical Application

This precision ear knife is intended for otologic procedures that require a controlled, fine incision in confined anatomy. The lancet-style cutting point is used primarily to perform tympanic membrane incisions (myringotomy), to initiate access for middle-ear drainage or tube placement, and for delicate soft-tissue scoring within the external auditory canal. Its geometry supports precise depth control to minimize trauma to underlying structures and to enable reproducible, targeted cuts in microsurgical ear work.

Design & Configuration

The angled lancet configuration places the cutting edge in an orientation that facilitates approach through the external auditory canal while preserving line-of-sight and instrument clearance. The slender shaft and angled tip allow the operator to maintain a comfortable hand position outside the immediate field while the blade is oriented parallel to the tympanic membrane. This improves tactile control and reduces the need for excessive retraction or canal manipulation during incision.
