Hartmann Ear Forceps Cup

Description

Hartmann Ear Forceps Cup

These Hartmann ear forceps have small cup-shaped jaws. ENT surgeons use them to grasp and remove tissue, debris and small objects from the ear canal.

Why cup jaws

Cup jaws close around tissue and hold it inside the cups. As a result, the surgeon can remove a small sample in one piece. The cups also help collect loose debris without scattering it.

Three cup sizes

You can choose a 2 mm, 2.5 mm or 3 mm cup. The 2 mm cup suits the finest work. The 3 mm cup, meanwhile, takes more tissue per bite. The 2.5 mm size sits in between for general use.

Clinical uses

Surgeons use cup forceps to take biopsies from the ear canal. They also use them to clear granulation tissue during ear surgery. In addition, the cups help lift out small pieces of packing.

Picking a cup size

Think about the smallest space you normally reach. Tight canals favor the 2 mm size. If you take larger samples, however, choose 3 mm. Many practices simply stock all three.

Caring for your Hartmann ear forceps

Clean the inside of each cup carefully, since tissue can stick there. Rinse the forceps and brush the joint. Then dry them fully and sterilize them with the jaws open.

These forceps are covered by our three-year warranty against workmanship defects. We hand-check the cups and joint in Atlanta before packing the box. For payment and tracking questions, our FAQ guide can help. Our steel choice follows ASTM F899 for surgical instruments. If you need grasping jaws instead, try the Hartmann-Noyes ear polypus forceps.
