Clinical Application
Designed for secure grasping and retrieval of foreign bodies from the upper airway and hypopharynx/upper esophagus under rigid endoscopic exposure or direct laryngoscopy. The 30 cm working length provides the reach required for procedures in ENT, thoracic, and general surgical settings where controlled, direct mechanical removal of aspirated or ingested objects is indicated.
Design & Configuration
The rigid, long-shaft configuration provides axial control and tactile feedback necessary for removing foreign material from the oropharynx, larynx, and proximal tracheobronchial tree. The length balances reach with mechanical stability to allow the surgeon to manipulate and extract objects through a transoral approach or via a rigid scope while maintaining direct line-of-sight and instrument control.
