Clinical Application
Designed for otologic and ENT procedures, this Hartmann ear forceps provides controlled grasping of small objects within the external auditory canal and on the surface of the ear. Typical uses include removal of cerumen, cotton or other foreign bodies, placement and removal of packing or dressings, and manipulation of small tissue fragments during minor aural procedures. The 7 mm serrated tip gives a reliable purchase on moist materials and small items commonly encountered in clinic and procedure-room settings.
Design & Configuration
The short 7 mm serrated jaws concentrate gripping force at the tip for precise control in confined spaces, while the overall 8.5 cm length balances reach with tactile feedback. Serrations reduce slippage on wet materials and dressings, improving handling when working in the narrow and delicate ear canal. The slim profile of the shanks preserves visibility and access for the operator and allows fine manipulation without excessive bulk.
