Otology Hook 90

Clinical Application

The 90-degree otology hook is designed for controlled, low-profile manipulation within the external auditory canal and middle ear. It is used to lift and retract tympanomeatal flaps, mobilize thin membranes, free soft-tissue adhesions, and retrieve small fragments or packing material in otologic procedures where precise, point-contact traction is required.

Design & Configuration

The 90-degree bend places the tip perpendicular to the instrument shaft, enabling access to recesses of the ear canal and middle ear that are difficult to reach with straight instruments. This angulation improves line-of-sight for the surgeon and permits fine, controlled lifts of soft tissue with minimal shaft interference. The hooked tip provides a secure point of contact for atraumatic elevation and retraction in confined spaces.
