Clinical Application
Used to expose and visualize the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane during diagnostic otoscopy, ear cleaning, cerumen removal, and minor aural procedures. The 6.5 x 7.5 mm aperture is appropriate when a balance of working access and atraumatic contact with canal walls is required, permitting safe passage of suction tips, curettes, or microinstruments under direct vision.
Design & Configuration
The Zoellner pattern provides a straight, conical funnel that centralizes the view of the canal while minimizing obstruction of the operative field. The Fig.2 B/F configuration denotes the specific form factor and aperture dimensions (6.5 x 7.5 mm), which influence tactile fit within the canal and clearance for instrumentation. The geometry helps stabilize the viewing axis and facilitates irrigation or suction without frequent repositioning.
