Zoellner Ear Speculum 10.5x11.5mm, B/F Fig.6

Clinical Application

Designed for otologic examinations and minor aural procedures, this speculum provides a direct, unobstructed view of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane. It is suited for routine clinic otoscopy, manual removal of cerumen or foreign bodies, and use with suction or micro-instruments under operating microscope illumination. The aperture dimensions support controlled access to the canal while maintaining patient comfort during diagnostic and minor interventional maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The Zoellner configuration features a smooth, conical funnel geometry with a flared distal opening to center and stabilize the instrument in the external auditory canal. The two-part aperture dimension (10.5 x 11.5 mm) provides a working channel large enough for common micro-instruments and suction tips while minimizing tissue contact at the canal rim. The simple, rigid profile facilitates precise alignment of the visual axis and instruments during microscopic or handheld examinations.
