Shambaugh Wash Cannula malle. silver 19.5cm

Clinical Application

This malleable Shambaugh wash cannula is designed to deliver controlled irrigation to confined operative fields. It is most commonly used in otologic and ENT procedures—such as tympanoplasty, mastoidectomy and microsurgical middle-ear work—where precise lavage and debris clearance are required without damaging delicate tissues. The 19.5 cm length provides reach into deep or narrow operative corridors while maintaining tactile control at the handle.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft can be bent to conform to the anatomical approach and surgical access required, allowing the surgeon to route irrigation fluid around instruments and optics without repositioning the handpiece. A straight, slender profile with 19.5 cm working length balances reach and maneuverability in small cavities. The silver finish provides a consistent visual contrast under OR lighting and resists surface corrosion associated with repeated reprocessing.
