Farrior Ear Speculum

Description

Farrior Ear Speculum

The Farrior ear speculum is an oval, angled speculum for ear surgery. Otologists seat it in the ear canal and operate through it under the microscope.

Oval and angled

An oval opening follows the natural shape of the ear canal more closely than a round one. Also, the angled body helps bring the eardrum into view. So the surgeon gains both room and sight for fine instruments.

Eighteen options

We offer nine oval sizes, from 3.0 x 4.0 mm up to 7.5 x 8.5 mm. Next, you choose a 20 or 35 degree angle. Together, those choices give 18 options. Contact us for the full list of intermediate sizes.

Use in ear surgery

Surgeons use specula of this type for tympanoplasty, stapes surgery and similar procedures. Meanwhile, the speculum often sits in a holder, which frees both hands. The oval shape then gives room for suction and a micro instrument together.

Choosing size and angle

First, choose sizes that match the canals you usually see. Then decide on the angle, since the 35 degree version tilts more steeply than the 20 degree one. Many surgeons keep several sizes in one angle. Ask us for help putting a set together.

Caring for your Farrior ear speculum

Rinse blood and debris from the inner surface after surgery. Then wash the speculum by hand using gentle detergent and a brush. Dry it and sterilize it in a protective tray.

Ordering Farrior specula

We warrant each speculum with a three-year warranty against workmanship faults. Then, before any parcel leaves Atlanta, we inspect the rim and angle by hand. Our ordering FAQs explain quotes for larger sets. For material, the guide is ASTM F899, the surgical stainless standard. Surgeons often pair these with the Rosen knife for flap work. Our wider catalog of ENT instruments lists many more.
