Clinical Application
Designed for minimally traumatic removal of pedunculated and polypoid lesions encountered in otologic procedures. The instrument is intended for transcanal use under microscopic or endoscopic visualization to encircle and excise polyps, granulation tissue, and small soft-tissue growths from the external auditory canal or accessible middle ear locations. Its loop-style action permits controlled tissue capture and excision with reduced collateral trauma compared with forceps-based avulsion.
Design & Configuration
The slim, 17 cm shaft provides reach and maneuverability within the confined geometry of the ear canal while maintaining tactile control at the handle. A single-wire loop deploys from the distal tip and can be adjusted to encompass variable lesion sizes, allowing the operator to tighten the loop to the lesion base for clean excision. The linear shaft and direct hand control facilitate precise placement under microscope or endoscope, and the low-profile distal profile helps preserve visualization and suction access during the procedure.
