Clinical Application
This 3 mm round, straight Bruenings tip is designed to restore or customize the working end of compatible surgical forceps or micro-instruments. The small, rounded profile provides atraumatic contact with delicate tissues, making it suitable for fine grasping, blunt dissection, and manipulation in confined operative fields. Clinicians typically use this tip where a smooth, non‑puncturing surface is required to minimize tissue crush and surface injury during microsurgical, ENT, reconstructive, or other procedures requiring precise, gentle handling.
Design & Configuration
The straight orientation offers direct line-of-sight access and straightforward instrument control in linear approaches. The round 3 mm profile increases contact area relative to a pointed tip, reducing the risk of penetration and focal pressure on soft tissues. The Figure 3 designation denotes a standardized tip geometry used for interchangeability with instruments specified to accept Bruenings Fig.3 tips, enabling targeted replacement without changing the parent instrument body.
