Clinical Application
Designed for ENT surgeons and laryngologists performing microlaryngoscopy and suspension laryngoscopy, this instrument provides controlled transoral access to the glottis and supraglottic space. The polypus-style jaws are intended to securely grasp small to medium benign mucosal lesions—such as vocal fold polyps, granulomas, and mucosal tags—allowing precise excision or removal under microscopic or endoscopic visualization. Its length and slim profile facilitate use through a laryngoscope or operating channel while preserving the line of sight to the lesion.
Design & Configuration
The long, narrow shaft is sized to reach the larynx from the oral cavity without excessive bulk in the surgical field, improving access during suspension laryngoscopy. The polypus (cup) jaw geometry concentrates gripping pressure on a small surface area to secure soft tissue while minimizing shear and crush injury to adjacent mucosa. A balanced shaft length of 19 cm offers a compromise between reach and tactile control, enabling fine manipulations at the vocal fold when used with magnification.
