Barbara Micro Ear Pick

Description

Barbara Micro Ear Pick

The Barbara micro ear pick is a fine angled pick for middle ear microsurgery. Otologists use it to feel, lift and adjust tiny structures such as graft edges, ossicles and prosthesis parts.

The widest choice in the family

Among the Barbara ear instruments, the pick offers the most variations. So a surgeon can match the angle and tip to almost any step. That flexibility suits surgeons who like a set built around one feel.

How the fifty options work

First, pick the shaft: straight at 15.5 cm, or angled at 15.5 or 16 cm. Next, choose a 25, 45 or 90 degree angle. Then select a tip of 0.3, 0.6, 1, 1.2, 1.5, 2 or 2.5 mm. Not every pairing exists, so the range totals 50 options.

Where surgeons use it

Picks appear in stapes surgery, ossiculoplasty and tympanoplasty. For instance, a 90 degree pick can reach under the edge of the drum. Meanwhile, a gentle 25 degree angle suits work nearer the line of sight.

Narrowing the choice

Few surgeons need every version. Instead, list the steps where you use a pick today. Then pick two or three angles and a small spread of tips. We can check which combinations exist before you order.

Caring for your Barbara micro ear pick

Clean each pick with gentle brush strokes along the shaft. Then rinse it and dry it with lint-free cloth. Keep the tip capped while it waits for sterilization.
