Zaufal Foreign body lever 16cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled engagement and levering for removal of foreign material from the oropharynx, hypopharynx and adjacent ENT cavities. Commonly used in clinic and operative settings for extraction of small to medium-sized objects such as food boluses, dental fragments and other aspirated or lodged items where a levering action is preferred over grasping.

Design & Configuration

The straight hand-held lever geometry translates manual force into a focused levering action to dislodge and deliver foreign material away from mucosal surfaces. The 16 cm overall length balances reach and control for working in the posterior oral cavity and pharynx, allowing the operator to maintain a secure grip while applying directed pressure. The instrument's simple profile supports tactile feedback, aiding precise placement against a lodged object before extraction.
