Hartmann Ear Catheter Fig.3 SP

Clinical Application

Designed for use in ENT clinics, surgery centers and ambulatory settings, this instrument provides a controlled conduit for irrigation and canal aspiration during aural procedures. It is suitable for cerumen removal, irrigation-assisted foreign body extraction and intraoperative or bedside management of the external auditory canal. The instrument is intended to be used with standard syringes or suction/tubing systems appropriate for ear care.

Design & Configuration

The figure‑3 angulated profile aligns the lumen with the axis of the external auditory canal, allowing atraumatic access while minimizing contact with the canal walls and tympanic membrane. The SP variant denotes a specific tip/junction geometry that preserves a low profile, improving visibility and maneuverability in confined canal anatomy. This geometry helps clinicians direct irrigation flow or aspiration precisely where needed without excessive forward advancement.
