Clinical Application
Designed for otologic use in clinic, ambulatory surgery, and the operating room, this instrument facilitates controlled removal of small foreign bodies and impacted cerumen from the external auditory canal. The small cup tip enables secure capture of rounded or granular material while minimizing trauma to the delicate canal skin, making it useful during microscopic or direct-vision procedures.
Design & Configuration
The Hartmann-style configuration provides fine, tactile control in confined spaces. The 2.5 mm cup jaws are engineered to scoop and retain small objects rather than crush them, reducing slippage during extraction. The 8.5 cm overall length offers sufficient reach into the external auditory canal while maintaining good instrument feedback at the operator handle for precise manipulation.
