Clinical Application
Hartmann ear forceps with a 1x2-tooth tip are intended for otologic and ENT use within the external auditory canal. Their fine-toothed jaws permit secure capture of small foreign bodies, impacted cerumen, packing material, and delicate soft tissue during clinic-based procedures, minor office procedures, and operative ear work under magnification.
Design & Configuration
The compact 8.5 cm length and fine 1x2T jaw geometry provide controlled access in the confined space of the ear canal while minimizing bulk at the distal tip. The 1x2-tooth configuration combines a gentle, atraumatic grip with reliable purchase on small objects and soft tissue, reducing the risk of slippage during extraction maneuvers. The slim profile supports use through specula and with microscope or head-loupe magnification.
